Tacos de Pollo

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the chicken. Use a sharp knife to trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a medium bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add olive oil and mix to form a paste. Add the chicken pieces and coat them evenly in the spice mixture. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare your toppings. Wash and shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, chop the cilantro, and dice the onions. Set aside each in separate bowls.
4. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice sear. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by lightly heating them on an open flame on your stovetop for a few seconds on each side or in a microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, diced onions, and crumbled cheese. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco before serving.
7. Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and enjoy your delicious homemade Tacos de Pollo!
