Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 hard taco shells OR flour/corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Shred cheese with the Cactus Cheese Grater.
- Add sliced chicken breasts to the skillet and season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, if you are using tortillas, warm them up in either the oven or microwave:
- Put five or fewer tortillas on a microwavable plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave in 30-second bursts until they are warmed through. Repeat in batches of five tortillas until all your tortillas are warm.
- Wrap a stack of five or fewer tortillas in a packet of aluminum foil and put it in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, until heated through.
- Place warmed tortillas in a Tortilla Savor to keep warm until ready to serve.
- Once the chicken is cooked, assemble your Taco Holder with shells or tortillas.
- Using Taco Spoons, scoop a generous portion of seasoned chicken onto each shell or tortilla.
- Serve additional toppings, such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges in Taco Trays for guests and family to customize their tacos.
- Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos with family and friends, savoring every flavorful bite!
