Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder This adds a nice flavor kick.
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt Adjust to taste.
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro Chopped, for garnishing.
- 8 small corn tortillas Warmed for serving.

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir occasionally until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over low heat, or you can microwave them for about 30 seconds until soft.
- Once the chicken is ready, it’s time to assemble your tacos! Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top each taco with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and tasty meal!
