Equipment
- None
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound primal blend ground chicken
- 8-12 corn tortillas for serving
- Suggested Toppings:
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced avocado
- 1 cup diced tomato if in season
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro washed and chopped
- ¼ cup Yucatán Habanero Salsa
Instructions
- Make the Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of sea salt, ¼ teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and ½ teaspoon ground cumin.
- Warm the Tortillas First: Heat a large cast iron skillet or nonstick pan on medium low heat. Warm 8-12 tortillas by placing a few in the pan, not touching, and warm on each side for about 30-45 seconds. Place the heated tortillas inside a clean folded towel or tortilla warmer to keep warm.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a large stainless steel or nonstick skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of avocado oil. If your chicken is juicy, drain it well.
- Add 1 pound of primal blend ground chicken to your hot pan. Using a straight sided wooden spatula, break up the chunks and allow the chicken to start browning. Once you’ve broken up the chunks, cook for 3 minutes undisturbed, then add the spice blend and mix in well. Reduce the heat and cook for 3-6 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Your chicken should be browned, no pink, and reach a temperature of 165˚F.
- Assemble the Tacos: Transfer the meat to a serving bowl and serve along with the warmed tortillas and any of the suggested toppings that strike your fancy.
