Ingredients
Chicken Marinade
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
For Serving
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 medium roma tomatoes diced
- 1/2 medium red onion diced
- 1/2 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas or corn
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, salt, paprika, pepper, cayenne pepper, parsley, lime juice, and olive oil. Pour over chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Let marinate in the fridge 1 hour.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from pan and chop chicken into small pieces.
- Serve on warmed tortillas and top with desired toppings.
Notes
- Instead of using boneless skinless chicken breasts, you can substitute with 6 to 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs. Cooking time will need to be increased slightly.
