Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 pieces Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped

Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spiced chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the chipotle sauce: In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, Greek yogurt, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos: On each tortilla, place some shredded lettuce, a few slices of chicken, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, and a couple of avocado slices.
Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, smoky flavors of these sugar-free chipotle tacos.
