Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

Cooking the Filling

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Add the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable filling onto each tortilla.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each filled tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Fold each tortilla in half and serve immediately, while warm.
