Delight in these Chicken Street Tacos filled with marinated chicken, fresh veggies, and zesty toppings for a vibrant meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss it lightly to coat all the pieces. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or if you’re short on time, aim for 10 minutes at the very least.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Flip it midway for an even sear.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken cooks, warm your tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave, just until they’re pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Lay the cooked chicken on each tortilla. Top generously with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced onions, and chopped cilantro. Finish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Serve with Lime Wedges: Present your tacos with fresh lime wedges, inviting everyone to squeeze some juice for that extra zing.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for best flavor. Customize toppings as desired.
