Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 avocado
- 4 lime wedges
- to taste hot sauce
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken marinates, finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Slice the avocado and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Sauté until cooked through and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet over medium heat or directly on a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with a portion of cooked chicken. Top with diced red onion, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Add hot sauce if desired and enjoy immediately!
