Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Make the Avocado Pico: In a bowl, combine diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix until combined.
Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with avocado pico, and add sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
