Instructions
Creating Easy Homemade Chicken Street Tacos is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken breasts, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes for added flavor.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
3. Shred Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Warm Tortillas: In the same skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and slightly charred.
5. Assemble Tacos: Place a generous amount of shredded chicken in each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onions, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices.
6. Add Salsa: If desired, drizzle your favorite salsa over the tacos for added flavor.
7. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos to brighten the flavors just before serving.
These steps will lead to mouthwatering tacos that are full of flavor and incredibly satisfying.
