Easy Chicken Tacos

Adapted from NYT’s Easy Chicken Tacos by Kristina Felix

Serves: 4 (8 tacos)

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1½ pounds, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons lime juice (1 lime), plus lime wedges for serving

1 tablespoon hot sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

8 corn or flour tortillas, warmed

Minced onion and cilantro, for serving




Directions:

  1. Mix the chicken, garlic powder, lime juice, hot sauce, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl and toss to combine, making sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the mixture.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until browned and edges begin to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  3. Serve straight from the skillet with warm tortillas, onions and cilantro and your choice of additional toppings.
