INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 tomatoes diced
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 2 tablespoons green chili peppers diced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ cup chopped red cabbage
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • 8-10 corn tortillas

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the spices and set aside.
  • Cut the chicken breast into cubes and coat them with the spice mixture.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for fry about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked, for 15-20 minutes. If it gets too dry, just add a little water to prevent burning and continue cooking. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Now you can prepare the tomato salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, cucumber, green chili peppers and lime.
  • Share the chicken in corn taco shells, top with the quick tomato salsa, red cabbage, cilantro leaves and extra lime juice if you like.
  • Serve with extra green chili peppers and boiled corn.
