Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 1 large Lime
- 1 large Avocado
- 20 g Cilantro
- 100 g Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken. Dice the 500 g of chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the diced chicken with 2 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of taco seasoning until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes if possible.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, thinly slice the medium red onion and large bell pepper and set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Stir often to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Add the sliced red onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Season with 1 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 6
Meanwhile, warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until pliable and slightly charred on the edges if desired.
Step 7
Prepare the toppings by slicing the large avocado and chopping the cilantro.
Step 8
To assemble the tacos, place a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture on each tortilla.
Step 9
Top with slices of avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice from the large lime.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Classic Chicken Tacos!
