Ingredients (Makes 2 generous servings | 4 tacos)

  • 4 soft taco shells (flour or corn)

  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup diced tomato

  • 1 cup grated Gouda cheese

  • ½ cup shredded lettuce

  • Chili flakes or hot pepper, to taste

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • 2 Tbsp butter

  • Salt, to taste

Method

  1. Marinate the chicken
    Place the sliced chicken in a bowl. Season with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and chili flakes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (longer gives deeper flavor).

  2. Cook the chicken
    Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat.

  3. Assemble the tacos
    Warm the taco shells briefly (dry skillet or microwave). Fill each with cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a generous sprinkle of Gouda.

  4. Serve
    Arrange on a platter and enjoy immediately—perfect for a quick lunch, week-night dinner, or relaxed get-together.

¡Buen provecho!
