Tacos de pollo fáciles en 20 minutos

Ingredientes

• 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless skinless (or chicken breasts)
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or onion powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped tomato
• 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
• 1 finely chopped jalapeño (deseeded )
• 1 tsp lime juice
• pinch salt and pepper (to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Add the chicken, garlic, olive oil, lime, and spices, to a large bowl or zip-seal bag and stir or shake to combine.

2. 2

   Heat a large pan to medium-high heat. Cook chicken 6-7 minutes per side or until it is no longer pink and the internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from heat and cool for at least 5 minutes. Slice or chop into small cubes.

3. 3

   While the chicken is cooking, combine the chopped tomato, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Char tortillas on the stovetop over the flame until lightly charred (this step is optional).

4. 4

   Assemble tacos by placing about 1/4 cup of chicken into each tortilla. Top with a few tablespoons of the onion-tomato mixture and a drizzle of cilantro sauce (*optional, see recipe in notes).
