Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Let them marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla.
Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to garnish their tacos as desired.
