Method

Prepare the Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Once the chicken is slightly cooled, shred it using two forks. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous portion of the seasoned chicken. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately while warm.
