Quick Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos
No restrictions
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:
- Pat chicken breasts dry and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes or thin strips.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 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.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro into the cooked chicken.
- 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.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the cilantro-lime chicken mixture into the warm tortillas. Garnish with the remaining fresh chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately.
