Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Small flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 lime Fresh lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for faster and even cooking.

Step 2

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

3. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the chicken.

Step 4

Step 6

6. Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 7

7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
