Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced Cut just before serving to keep fresh.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For cooking the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through and slightly crisp at the edges.
Preparing the Tortillas
  1. In another skillet, warm the corn tortillas until they are soft and pliable.
Assembling the Tacos
  1. Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Layer with shredded chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and slices of avocado.
  2. Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro. Serve right away.

Notes

Serve the tacos hot to keep the tortillas soft and the chicken crisp. Lime wedges, extra sour cream, hot sauce, or salsa can be served on the side for added flavor. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, keeping tortillas separate from assembled tacos.
