Instructions for chicken taco:

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    a. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Also, rub the spices into the chicken to ensure even coating.
    b. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
    c. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). However, the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
    d. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
  • Prepare the Taco Filling:
    a. In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
    b. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
    c. Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until it softens slightly.
    d. Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables, and stir to combine.
    e. Add the shredded chicken back to the skillet and toss it with the onion and pepper mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Assemble the tacos:

a. Warm the tortillas by either heating them on a skillet for a few seconds on each side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
b. Place a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable filling onto each tortilla.
c. Also, top the tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and any other desired toppings.
d. Also, squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos to add a refreshing tang.
