Halal Chicken Tacos

Halal Chicken Tacos are a delicious fusion of Middle Eastern spices and classic American taco flavors, served in soft tortillas for a satisfying meal. These tacos are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that brings a unique twist to your table.

Ingredients

• Halal chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Sour cream - 2 tablespoons (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the Halal chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade, mixing well to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings: slice the red onion, chop the cilantro, and slice the avocado.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing cooked chicken on each tortilla, topping with red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
7. Serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired and enjoy your Halal Chicken Tacos!
