Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 ripe avocado, sliced
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sliced red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a zip-lock bag and pound them to an even thickness with a meat mallet.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it is shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the chicken broth, lime juice, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until it is fully cooked and tender.

Step 5

Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and toss it in the sauce until well-coated. Simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded chicken onto each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
