INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (140g)
2 Corn Tortillas (approx 50g each)
1 cup shredded Red Cabbage (89g)
1 small shredded Carrot (61g)
1 Lime (67g)
1 small Jalapeño Chili (14g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
0.5 tsp Cumin
0.5 tsp Chili Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the juice of the lime, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, finely chopped jalapeño, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breast for 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, toss the shredded red cabbage and carrot with a splash of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and chopped fresh cilantro to create the crunchy slaw.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of sliced chicken on each tortilla and topping with a generous spoonful of the cabbage slaw.
Garnish with additional cilantro and a drizzle of any remaining lime marinade if desired, then serve immediately.
