Chicken Tacos Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 400g boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Tacos:

• 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

For the Salsa:

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salsa:

   • Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
   • Chill: Let the salsa sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients to allow the flavours to meld.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Season: In a small bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
   • Coat: Rub the chicken with olive oil and then coat evenly with the spice mixture.
   • Cook: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). If using thighs, ensure they are tender and cooked through.
   • Rest: Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.

3. Assemble the Tacos:

   • Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
   • Slice/Shred Chicken: Slice or shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
   • Fill Tortillas: Place a few spoonfuls of chicken onto each tortilla.
   • Add Toppings: Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and shredded cheese.

4. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the top of the tacos.
   • Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges and the prepared salsa on the side.

Additional Tips:

• For Extra Flavor: Add a squeeze of lime juice over the tacos before serving.
• Custom Toppings: Feel free to add additional toppings such as sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or pickled red onions.
• Spice Level: Adjust the level of heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder and jalapeño in the salsa.

Variations:

1. Buffalo Chicken Tacos:

   • Sauce: Toss cooked chicken with buffalo sauce before adding to the tacos. Top with blue cheese crumbles and celery slaw.

2. Chipotle Chicken Tacos:

   • Marinade: Add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the spice mixture for a smoky, spicy kick.

3. Mango Chicken Tacos:

   • Salsa: Add diced mango to the salsa for a sweet and tangy twist.

Finally: Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos, a perfect blend of spicy, tangy, and fresh flavours!
