For the Tacos

Method

Prepare the Chicken Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. In the same skillet, add minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and return it to the skillet. Add lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warmed tortilla and add a generous portion of the chicken filling in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Add Jalapeños (optional)

    If desired, add sliced jalapeños on top of the toppings for some extra heat.
