My Mexican friend showed me this recipe. Delicious! To die for!.

How to Make This Delicious Mexican Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by cutting the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until it’s lightly browned and cooked through—about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeños. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.

Step 3: Add the Spices and Tomatoes

Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat the onions and garlic with the spices. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices) to the pan, and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4: Combine the Chicken and Simmer

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the tomato mixture. Stir everything together and let it simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes. This allows the chicken to soak up all the delicious flavors from the sauce.

Step 5: Add the Lime and Cilantro

Once everything is cooked and the flavors are well combined, squeeze in some fresh lime juice and stir in the chopped cilantro. The lime adds a fresh burst of flavor that really brightens up the dish!

Step 6: Serve

Serve the chicken mixture in warm tortillas (flour or corn), or you can even serve it over rice for a heartier meal. Top it with a dollop of sour cream and some extra salsa for even more flavor. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can also garnish with some additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime.

Why This Recipe is So Good

This recipe really packs a punch in the flavor department. The smokiness from the cumin and chili powder, the tanginess from the lime, and the crunch from the fresh cilantro create the perfect balance of taste and texture. Plus, the chicken is tender and juicy, making it the ideal base for all the delicious toppings.

The jalapeños give the dish just the right amount of spice, but you can always adjust it to your own heat tolerance. And, let’s not forget how satisfying it is to roll everything up in a warm tortilla—every bite is a flavorful bite!
