Step 1: Season the Chicken
  1. I start by patting the chicken dry and rubbing it with olive oil and taco seasoning. Make sure you coat it evenly so every bite is flavorful and well seasoned.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
  1. I like to warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20–30 seconds per side. This makes them soft, flexible, and easier to fold.
