Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 piece sliced avocado
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin for even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are well-browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it thinly or shred using two forks.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the chicken on each tortilla, and top with fresh cilantro leaves, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium classic chicken tacos!
