Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 8 leaves Lettuce (such as Bibb or Romaine)
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 unit Lime
• 0.5 cup Grated cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare your toppings. Slice the avocado, cut the lime into wedges, and grate the cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, take a lettuce leaf and add a few strips of cooked chicken. Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 9

Repeat for the remaining tacos and serve immediately.
