instructions
    1

    Begin by dicing the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

    2

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the diced chicken. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.

    3

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and stir well to coat. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if needed to help the seasoning mix evenly, and cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

    4

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, chop the cilantro, and slice the lime into wedges.

    5

    Once the chicken is done, warm the taco shells in the oven for about 5 minutes or according to package instructions.

    6

    Assemble the tacos by placing a scoop of the seasoned chicken into each taco shell, followed by lettuce, diced tomato, and cheddar cheese.

    7

    Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.

    8

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing on top.
