Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 8 pieces small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly.
Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Meanwhile, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat.
To assemble the tacos, place some shredded lettuce on a warm tortilla.
Add a generous spoonful of cooked chicken onto the lettuce.
Top with a few sliced cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lime on the side to squeeze over the tacos for added freshness.
