Ingredients

• 10 ounces vegetarian chicken strips
• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lime
• 1 small red onion
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 avocado
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 jalapeño pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Finely dice the red onion, chop the cilantro leaves, and slice the jalapeño pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the vegetarian chicken strips, ensuring they are coated evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiced vegetarian chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and heated through.

Step 4

While the vegetarian chicken cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

Step 5

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and mash with a fork until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the cooked vegetarian chicken onto each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of mashed avocado, a sprinkle of diced red onions, jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro.

Step 7

Finish with a dollop of sour cream before serving and enjoy your vegetarian chicken street tacos!
