How to Make Basic Soft Chicken Tacos

1. Pat the chicken strips dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
4. While the chicken rests, juice the 2 limes into a small bowl.
5. Cut the chicken across the grain into thin slices, then cut each slice into bite-sized pieces. Pour the lime juice over the chicken and toss gently to coat.
6. Warm the flour tortillas: Stack them and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until pliable. Alternatively, heat in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 30 seconds per side, or until warmed through.
7. Fill each tortilla with the chicken and your favorite toppings: salsa, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
