Taco Filling

Taco Assembly

Method

Prepare the Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then shred it using two forks and return it to the skillet to soak up the juices.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the shredded chicken filling onto each tortilla.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
