Ingredients
- 5 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 yellow onion chopped, small
- 2 cups purple cabbage chopped
- 1 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 tomatillo for creamy dressing
- 12 corn tortillas small
Instructions
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Spray heavily with cooking spray.
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness or cut in half lengthwise to form thinner cutlets. They'll cook more evenly this way.
- Combine salt, ground cumin, chili, garlic and onion powder together in a small bowl. Season both sides of all chicken breasts generously with spice mixture.
- When skillet is nice and hot, add 3 chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is completely cooked in the center. ( You don't want to overcrowd the pan, so cook chicken in 2 batches)
- Once chicken is cooked, transfer to a large cutting board and cut into bite-size strips.
- Meanwhile, heat the corn tortillas in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to warm up or you can warm them up on a skillet.
- To assemble tacos, add some chicken down the center of one corn tortilla. Add a couple Tablespoons each of chopped cilantro, raw onion and purple cabbage. Sprinkle the top with a little Cotija cheese and Creamy Tomatillo dressing.
- Repeat with all chicken, tortillas and toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
