  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  2. Place a portion of the cooked chicken on each tortilla.
  3. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
  4. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
