Cheesy Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

For the chicken:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

For the tacos:

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 onion, finely sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Lime wedges

Instructions:

Cook the chicken:

In a bowl, season the chicken thighs or breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.

Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare the tortillas:

Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle for about 30 seconds on each side, until warmed through and slightly charred.

Assemble the tacos:

On each tortilla, layer the cooked chicken, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese, and sliced onions.

Optionally, return the tacos to the skillet for a minute to melt the cheese and warm everything through.

Serve:

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Enjoy your cheesy, savory chicken tacos!
