Delicious Chicken Tacos Recipe

These tacos feature tender chicken marinated in spices, roasted tomatoes, and jalapeños, all wrapped in warm tortillas. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 jalapeños, sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese
Lime wedges for serving
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the Vegetables: On a baking sheet, spread the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced jalapeños. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered.
Cook the Chicken: While the vegetables are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer the sliced chicken, roasted tomatoes, and jalapeños on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced onion, and queso fresco.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges on the side.
