Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Fresh lime, cut into wedges
- 1 Avocado, sliced

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
Stir in chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and black pepper.
Pour in 0.5 cup of water to prevent the mixture from sticking and provide moisture for even cooking. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the chicken simmers, warm the corn tortillas in a clean skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by distributing the chipotle chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Top each taco with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and black beans.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful low sodium chipotle tacos.
