  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 8 small corn tortillas

  • 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
  4. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
  6. Bake the chicken in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
  7. While the chicken cooks, prepare the mango salsa.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
  9. Mix the salsa ingredients well and set aside.
  10. Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  11. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
  12. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.
  13. Place a few slices of chicken on each tortilla.
  14. Top with mango salsa, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.
  15. Add jalapeño slices if desired for extra heat.
  16. Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a smokier taste, consider grilling the chicken breasts instead of baking.
  • Enhance the avocado slices by adding a splash of fresh lime juice.
  • For a spicier flavor, adjust the cayenne pepper amount or include hot sauce in the mango salsa.
