Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast (diced) Ensure all ingredients are halal-friendly.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small tortillas
Toppings (suggested)
  • shredded lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • shredded cheese
  • salsa

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by dicing the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the diced chicken, coating it thoroughly with the spices.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and slightly golden.
  4. In a separate pan or microwave, warm the tortillas for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Layer some cooked chicken on each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and salsa. Fold or roll them up.
  6. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For ingredient substitutions, feel free to swap chicken for halal-friendly ground beef or turkey. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze separately for a month.
