Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

- 1/4 cup chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced onions, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, avocado
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned.
- Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

- Fill the warm tortillas with the chipotle chicken mixture.
- Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
