Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into thin strips.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Let them marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Step 5
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla.
Step 7
Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
Step 8
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to garnish their tacos as desired.
