Chicken Tacos

Print Recipe

Tender, marinated chicken served in soft tortillas, topped with fresh cabbage and cilantro for a vibrant and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or purple)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 soft corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional: 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a marinade, then add the chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  4. Warm the tortillas in the same skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing shredded chicken on each tortilla, topping with shredded cabbage and cilantro. Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

Customize your toppings with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or jalapeños. For easier preparation, use a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
