Delicious Chicken Tacos with Caramelized Onions and Avocado

These tacos feature seasoned chicken cooked to perfection, topped with sweet caramelized onions and fresh avocado slices. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas: While the onions are caramelizing, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: To each tortilla, add sliced chicken, a generous spoonful of caramelized onions, and slices of avocado. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
