Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 small tortillas
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken strips.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the yellow onion into thin rings and core the apple before thinly slicing it (leave the peel on).
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and turn translucent.
Add the sliced apple to the skillet with the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of cooked chicken onto each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of the sautéed onions and apples.
Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Soft Tacos with Sautéed Onions and Apples!
