Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime, juiced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 whole avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup salsa (dairy-free)
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips and add them to the marinade. Toss the chicken until fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare other ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion, and dice the avocado. Chop the cilantro and set all the toppings aside for later use.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice caramelization on the outside.
Warm the corn tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Top with sliced red onions, diced avocado, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve the tacos immediately while warm and enjoy your dairy-free meal!
