Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 1 large Lime
- 1 large Avocado
- 20 g Cilantro
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Dice the 500 g of chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, mix the diced chicken with 2 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of taco seasoning until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes if possible.
While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the medium red onion and large bell pepper and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Stir often to ensure even cooking.
Add the sliced red onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Season with 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until pliable and slightly charred on the edges if desired.
Prepare the toppings by slicing the large avocado and chopping the cilantro.
To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture on each tortilla.
Top with slices of avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice from the large lime.
Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Classic Chicken Tacos!
