Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces gluten-free corn tortillas
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Start by marinating the chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag or bowl, mix together olive oil, the juice of one lime, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings: finely chop the red onion, dice the avocado, halve the grape tomatoes, and roughly chop the cilantro. Set these aside separately.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the tacos: Place a few strips of chicken onto each tortilla, then top with chopped red onion, avocado, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream to each taco if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free soft chicken tacos!
