Ingredients

• 1 pound Skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare the other ingredients: dice the tomatoes, shred the lettuce, chop the cilantro, and slice the lime if you're using fresh.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken cubes, cooking them for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them directly on a gas stovetop flame for a few seconds on each side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Once the chicken is fully cooked, assemble the tacos: lay out a tortilla, add a spoonful of cooked chicken, top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Finish with a squeeze of lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
