Ingredients
1 lb Ground Chicken (90% lean or higher)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
8–10 Corn Tortillas
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Water or Chicken Broth
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula immediately.
Cook the meat for 7 to 9 minutes until it is fully browned and no pink remains.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the meat is evenly coated.
Pour two tablespoons of water or broth into the pan to create a light glaze.
Simmer the mixture for two minutes until the liquid reduces into a thin sauce.
Char the corn tortillas over an open flame until warm and lightly blistered.
Serve the seasoned chicken immediately in the warm tortillas.
Notes
Use avocado oil as a substitute for olive oil if cooking at very high heat. For added flavor, top with fresh salsa, diced avocado, cilantro, or a squeeze of lime. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
