Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 peppers
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Corn tortillas - 4
• Avocado - 1, sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the chipotle sauce by blending the chipotle peppers with a tablespoon of adobo sauce until smooth. Set aside.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked chicken on the tortillas, topping with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and slices of avocado.
7. Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the top and serve immediately.
