Method

Prepare the Chicken

1

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown.

2

Shred the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the Tacos

3

Warm the Tortillas

In the same skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

4

Build the Tacos

Place a portion of shredded chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

5

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top of each taco and serve with lime wedges on the side.
