- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and shred using two forks.
In the same skillet, add the diced green chilies, tomato sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix it with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced cherry tomatoes, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos before eating.
