Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

pico de gallo:

  • 3 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
 

  • To make the pico, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and place in the fridge until ready to eat.
  • Fully coat chicken in the seasonings.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook for another 5 minutes, covered.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Chop up the chicken into bite size pieces and transfer back to the skillet. Turn heat up to high and cook for 3-5 more minutes until chicken is golden. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once chicken is done, remove from heat.
  • Heat tortillas over high heat in a small skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately with tortillas and pico de gallo. Enjoy!
