INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook your chicken breast using your preferred method - whether it's in a pan, oven, or Instant Pot. For a quick pan-cooked option, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breast for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. To expedite cooking, slice the chicken breast thinly.
2. Season the chicken with your favorite blend of spices. I like to use a mix of garlic and onion powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado sauce. In a blender, combine ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, juice from half a lime, and salt and pepper to taste. If the consistency is too thick, add a tablespoon of water until it reaches your desired thickness.
4. Warm up your tortillas on the stove or in an air fryer until they're just slightly toasted.
5. Once the chicken is cooked through, shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Assemble your tacos by placing the warm tortillas on a plate and topping it with the cooked chicken, shredded cabbage or lettuce, cheese, and a dollop of the avocado sauce.
7. Finish off each taco with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
