Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 1 large Avocado, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breast and slice it into thin, bite-sized strips.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor, in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Step 5

To assemble the tacos, lay the warm tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the cooked chicken into the center of each tortilla.

Step 6

Top with diced avocado, chopped red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Serve each taco with a dollop of low-fat plain Greek yogurt and a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 8

Arrange the tacos on a plate and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
