Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and mix until well coated.
Allow the chicken to marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the chicken is cooking, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork and squeeze the lime juice over it to taste.
For the lime sauce, mix the Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and add a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside.
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will serve as the taco shells.
Assemble the tacos by laying out the lettuce leaves and distributing the cooked chicken evenly among them.
Top each taco with mashed avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the lime yogurt sauce over each taco. Serve immediately.
