Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and mix until well coated.
Step 3
Allow the chicken to marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork and squeeze the lime juice over it to taste.
Step 6
For the lime sauce, mix the Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and add a pinch of salt. Stir well and set aside.
Step 7
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will serve as the taco shells.
Step 8
Assemble the tacos by laying out the lettuce leaves and distributing the cooked chicken evenly among them.
Step 9
Top each taco with mashed avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Drizzle the lime yogurt sauce over each taco. Serve immediately.
