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.
