Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and the spice mixture until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

While the chicken cooks, make the lime crema: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and honey. Add hot sauce if desired. Set aside.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas by lightly toasting them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos: Place a few slices of grilled chicken on each tortilla. Top with red cabbage, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 7

Drizzle the lime crema over the toppings and serve immediately. Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
