Ingredients
-
1 lb (about 450g) boneless, skinless, sliced into thin strips Chicken breasts or thighs
-
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
-
1 teaspoon Chili powder
-
1 teaspoon Cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
8, small Corn or flour tortillas
-
Optional toppings Diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced onions, sliced avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, etc.
Directions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and set aside.
- Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet or a separate one, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are heated through and slightly charred. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place a spoonful of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Add your desired toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced onions, sliced avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve: Arrange the prepared tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately.
