Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Small corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, chopped onions, shredded lettuce, grated cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by thinly slicing the chicken into strips or chunks for quick cooking. Mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub evenly onto the chicken.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook until fully done, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. While chicken cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  4. Lay the warmed tortillas on a plate. Spoon cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, onions, shredded lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

  • Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat chicken in a skillet or microwave before assembling tacos.
  • For a healthier, carb-free option, serve the seasoned chicken as a filling for lettuce wraps instead of tortillas.
  • Customize toppings with sliced jalapeños, avocado slices, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
