Flavorful Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

Chicken breasts

2 large, boneless and skinless

Taco seasoning

2 tablespoons

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Tortillas

8 small (corn or flour)

Lettuce

1 cup, shredded

Tomatoes

1 cup, diced

Avocado

1, sliced

Red onion

1/2 cup, thinly sliced

Cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Sour cream

1/2 cup

Lime

1, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts evenly with taco seasoning, ensuring they are well coated.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
5. After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips to make it easier to fill the tacos.
6. While the chicken is cooling, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds.
7. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of chicken strips on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
8. Finish off each taco with a drizzle of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for that extra zing.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chicken tacos with your favorite sides!
