METHOD
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper before adding it to the skillet.
2. Cook the chicken until golden, or roughly 6 minutes. Add the spices and stir until the chicken is fully coated, again roughly about a minute more.
3. Now for the fun part, building the tacos! In the tortillas, layer the chicken and desired toppings.
4. Serve with lime wedges for an extra bite or cilantro (if you're into that).
