Description

These Chicken & Avocado Tacos are a quick and vibrant twist on a classic favorite. The dish features tender chicken seasoned with warm spices, paired with the rich, buttery texture of ripe avocado. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a dollop of tangy yogurt-based sauce add brightness and creaminess, balancing the savory elements perfectly. The crunch of fresh lettuce and the sharp bite of raw onion provide wonderful textural contrast. Ideal for a speedy weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch, these tacos come together in under an hour. They are satisfying enough for a main course yet light enough to feel fresh. Customize with your favorite salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and your preferred taco spices.
  2. Cook the seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  3. While the chicken cooks, slice the ripe avocado and toss gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. Whisk together the low-fat natural yogurt with a pinch of salt and a drop of lemon juice to create a creamy sauce.
  5. Warm the taco shells in a dry pan or oven until crisp.
  6. Shred the lettuce and slice the tomato and shallots or spring onions for toppings.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing shredded lettuce and chicken slices into each warm tortilla.
  8. Top with avocado slices, tomato wedges, and chopped onions.
  9. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
