Savory Chicken Tacos with Fresh Salsa and Avocado

1In a bowl, combine olive oil (2 tablespoons), chili powder (1 teaspoon), cumin (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), onion powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (½ teaspoon), salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

2Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

3Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

4While the chicken is resting, prepare the fresh salsa by combining diced tomatoes (1 cup), red onion, cilantro, and lime (1) juice in a bowl. Season with salt to taste and mix well.

5Warm the corn tortillas (8 small) on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

6To assemble the tacos, place a few strips of chicken on each tortilla, top with fresh salsa, sliced avocado (1), and shredded lettuce (½ cup). Serve immediately.
