• Chili powder (1/2 teaspoon)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Cooking Instructions

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process:

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

2. Add the finely chopped onions and diced bell peppers to the pan. Continue sautéing until the vegetables become slightly tender.

3. Cut the boneless chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken to the pan with the sautéed vegetables.

4. Season the chicken and vegetables with cumin powder, paprika powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper for a burst of delicious flavors. Mix well to ensure even coating.

5. Cook the chicken until it is fully cooked through and tender. Make sure there is no pinkness left in the meat.

6. While the chicken is cooking, let’s prepare the salsa and guacamole that will accompany our tacos.

Salsa

To prepare the salsa, you will need the following ingredients:

• Onion (1, finely chopped)
• Tomatoes (2, finely chopped)
• Green chilies (2, finely chopped)
• Parsley (a handful, finely chopped)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
• Tabasco sauce (a few dashes for that extra kick)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and let the flavors meld together while we move on to the guacamole.

Guacamole

To prepare the guacamole, you will need the following ingredients:

• Ripe avocados (2)
• Lime (1, juiced)
• Salt (to taste)
• Cream (2 tablespoons)

In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados until creamy and smooth. Add lime juice, salt, and cream. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated, giving you a velvety guacamole.

Assembling the Tacos

Now that we have prepared all the components, it’s time to assemble the tacos:

1. Warm the tortilla shells in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them soft and pliable.

2. Place a generous amount of lettuce at the center of each tortilla shell as the base for our tacos.

3. Add a spoonful of the cooked chicken filling on top of the lettuce.

4. Drizzle some salsa over the chicken filling, adding a refreshing tanginess to the tacos.

5. Dollop a spoonful of guacamole on the salsa, giving the tacos a creamy and rich avocado flavor.

6. Fold the tortilla from one side to create a pocket, ensuring all the delicious ingredients stay intact.
