Steps:
- Mix together all the spices in a small bowl. Add the lime juice.
- Add the chicken to a bowl, shallow dish, or ziploc bag. Add the spices and lime juice and use tongs to make sure the chicken is evenly coated. If you have time, let this rest for up to thirty minutes. If not, you can move on to the next step right away. It will still pack in plenty of flavor.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until chicken is just cooked through. To ensure the chicken stays tender, try not to over-cook it. Remember it will continue to cook while you warm the tortillas.
- Remove the chicken and let rest while you heat up the tortillas.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings - salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, avocado, guacamole, diced onions, cilantro, etc.
