Categories     Dinner

Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
1.5 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 limes, juice (about 2 tbsp)
1 tbsp vegetable oil (or other oil)
8 corn tortillas (or low carb or lettuce wraps)

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.

Time 17m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup diced zucchini
1/4 cup mild salsa, plus more for passing at the table
8 ounces raw turkey sausages
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack
8 corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado
Salt and pepper
4 iceberg lettuce leaves, shredded
1 wooden spoon
1 medium saute pan
2 medium bowls
Paring knife (use with an adult)
1 fork
1 microwave

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini, the salsa, and a couple tablespoons of water. Cover, cook for 5 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl with a spoon.
  • Squish the sausage meat from its casing into the same skillet. (Discard the casings.) Break the meat up with a wooden spoon. Cook the meat over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until it loses its color. Add the meat to the vegetables. Add the cheese and stir. Set aside.
  • Cut avocado in half. Using a spoon, scrape the avocado from the skin into another bowl. Smash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap the tortillas in moist paper towels. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute or until warm. Lay out the tortillas and divide the turkey mixture evenly on top. Top with lettuce and avocado, fold the tortillas over and serve with salsa.
