instructions
    1

    Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.

    2

    Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.

    4

    Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn’t burn.

    5

    Next, add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.

    6

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until they are tender and fully cooked.

    7

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

    8

    While the filling is cooling slightly, warm your taco shells according to package instructions.

    9

    To assemble, fill each taco shell generously with the chicken and mushroom mixture and top with extra cilantro and a wedge of lime.
