  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 48 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 8 small corn or flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– ½ cup sour cream (optional)
– Lime wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Making amazing chicken tacos is easy when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil and taco seasoning. Coat the chicken well with the mixture.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can heat them in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
6. Assemble Tacos: Place the shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
7. Add Toppings: Finish off with a dollop of sour cream (if using) and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for extra flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos while they are warm.
