Ingredients
- 500g chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 mini tortillas
- 1 cup fresh salsa
- 1 cup guacamole
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes or until fully cooked, stirring occasionally.
- Warm the mini tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or until soft and warm.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of chicken on each tortilla, top with a spoonful of fresh salsa, and a dollop of guacamole.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Helpful Tips
- If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken and season it with the spices before assembling your tacos.
- For an extra kick, add finely sliced jalapeños to your tacos.
- You can make the guacamole ahead of time to streamline the process.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet before assembling more tacos.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you’re out of mini tortillas, regular-sized tortillas cut into smaller circles work as a great substitute. Additionally, you can substitute chicken with turkey or shrimp for a different flavor profile.
Pairings
Pair these mini chicken tacos with a side of Mexican rice or a light, tangy slaw. For drinks, consider serving with a refreshing mint lemonade or a classic cola.
