Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 leaves Lettuce (such as Bibb or Romaine)
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 unit Lime
- 0.5 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, prepare your toppings. Slice the avocado, cut the lime into wedges, and grate the cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and add a few strips of cooked chicken. Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Repeat for the remaining tacos and serve immediately.
