Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 0.5 red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 4

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet, cooking for about 6-8 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the other toppings: slice the avocado, dice the tomatoes, chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they become soft and pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by placing a few chicken strips on each tortilla.

Step 9

Top the chicken with sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, a sprinkle of cilantro, and chopped jalapeño.

Step 10

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for added fresh flavor.
