Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas (gluten-free)
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Prepare the taco toppings by shredding the romaine lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, and grating the cheddar cheese.
Assemble the tacos by placing cooked chicken on each tortilla. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve the gluten-free chicken tacos immediately and enjoy!
