Chicken Filling

Taco Assembly

Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the skillet. Add lime juice and stir to combine.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 4

    Build the Tacos

    Place a generous portion of the shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Add sliced jalapeños and chopped cilantro to taste.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
