Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 120 grams low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 corn tortillas
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup fresh pico de gallo
- 1 cup shredded lettuce

Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, cumin powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips, and add to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 4
Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for approximately 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has developed a nice char.
Step 5
While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas on another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos by first placing a few strips of chicken on each tortilla, add shredded lettuce, a spoonful of fresh pico de gallo, and top with sliced red onion and chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 7
Serve immediately, and enjoy these flavorful and low-fat chipotle tacos!
