Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

    In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and cilantro (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
