Ingredients:
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 lime
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup of shredded cabbage
- Mexican crema or sour cream
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
To make your chicken street tacos, you will need to follow these instructions:
- First, you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, in a medium bowl, mix together the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Next, cut the chicken into small cubes and place in the bowl with the seasoning mix. Use a spoon or your hands to mix the seasoning and chicken together until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Once the chicken is coated, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the cooked chicken. This will give the chicken a bright and tangy flavor.
- Next, place the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. This will help the chicken stay juicy and tender.
- Once the chicken is done baking, it’s time to assemble the tacos. Place a few pieces of chicken in each tortilla and top with diced onions, tomatoes, cilantro, cabbage, and Mexican crema or sour cream. You can also add hot sauce if you like.
- Finally, serve the tacos with a lime wedge and enjoy!
