Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Fresh ginger - 20 grams
• Lime - 1 (juice and zest)
• Garlic - 1 clove
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Corn tortillas - 4
• Fresh cilantro - a handful (for garnish)
• Red onion - 1/4 (thinly sliced)
• Avocado - 1/2 (sliced)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine grated ginger, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into small strips and add them to the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings by slicing the red onion and avocado, and chopping the fresh cilantro.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
5. In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the cooked chicken on each tortilla, then top with sliced red onion, avocado, and fresh cilantro.
7. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges if desired.
