Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Small corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 0.5 cup Diced white onion
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces Fresh lime wedges
- 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
- 0.25 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breast to coat it.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.
Cook the chicken breast for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into small strips or cubes.
While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas by toasting them on a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the chicken evenly among the tortillas. Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes (if using), and a small dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt.
Serve the tacos with fresh lime wedges for squeezing on top and salsa on the side, if desired.
