Description:

Flavorful chicken breast seasoned with classic taco spices and brightened with fresh lime and cilantro, served in warm tortillas. A simple yet satisfying meal that highlights the core ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions:

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes or thin strips.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro into the cooked chicken.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30-60 seconds, or heating them individually in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
  6. To assemble the tacos, spoon the cilantro-lime chicken mixture into the warm tortillas. Garnish with the remaining fresh chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve immediately.
