Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 spray Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Small corn tortillas (6-inch)
• 0.5 cup Diced white onion
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 pieces Fresh lime wedges
• 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
• 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
• 0.25 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any visible fat from the chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breast to coat it.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil spray.

Step 5

Cook the chicken breast for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into small strips or cubes.

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas by toasting them on a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by dividing the chicken evenly among the tortillas. Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes (if using), and a small dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt.

Step 8

Serve the tacos with fresh lime wedges for squeezing on top and salsa on the side, if desired.
