Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips, approximately half-inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings. Dice the avocado and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the cilantro.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and drizzle it with fresh lime juice for an added zest.
To assemble the tacos, take one large romaine lettuce leaf and fill it with a portion of the chicken. Top with diced avocado, red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Repeat until all tacos are assembled. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 soft chicken tacos!
