Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 8 pieces Soft flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice them into thin strips.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spices.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked chicken. Stir to coat and remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 20-30 seconds, or by heating them individually in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, add a layer of shredded lettuce to each tortilla, followed by a few strips of cooked chicken.

Step 7

Top with diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your easy chicken soft tacos!
