Steps:
- Mix together all the spices in a small bowl. Add the lime juice.
- Add the chicken to a bowl, shallow dish, or ziploc bag. Add the spices and lime juice and use tongs to make sure the chicken is evenly coated. If you have time, let this rest for up to thirty minutes. If not, you can move on to the next step right away. It will still pack in plenty of flavor.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until chicken is just cooked through. To ensure the chicken stays tender, try not to over-cook it. Remember it will continue to cook while you warm the tortillas.
- Remove the chicken and let rest while you heat up the tortillas.
- Serve with your favorite taco toppings - salsa, pico de gallo, cheese, avocado, guacamole, diced onions, cilantro, etc.

MEXICAN CHICKEN TACO CASSEROLE
This is flavorful way to deconstruct your tacos and make serving them up a little easier on you! Serve tacos casserole-style, and top them with your favorite toppings - shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, etc. as desired! Adjust the seasonings to your preference - you can start with less than called for and add more if you're worried it will be too strong of a flavor profile. Add your favorite taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, etc. if desired to serve!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until onion is mostly tender and meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add black beans, corn, tomatoes, and tomato sauce; stir until well combined.
- Bring mixture to a low simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Taste mixture and adjust the seasonings as desired.
- Spoon a couple of good-sized scoops of meat mixture onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, and spread into a thin layer. Lay about half of the tortillas over the sauce, breaking them in half as needed to make a fairly even layer without too much overlap. Add remaining meat mixture over the tortilla layer. Top with remaining tortillas, again breaking into pieces as necessary to evenly cover the surface.
- Cover with shredded cheese. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray, and set the sprayed side against the cheese to cover the casserole dish (this helps prevent "cheese loss" when you remove the foil).
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbly and cheese is nicely melted, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into wedges or scooping out to serve.

EASY CHICKEN TACOS (LOW FAT IF YOU CHOOSE SOFT SHELL OVER HARD)
I try to avoid cooking with pre-made spices and sauces (some are better than others), so this recipe is based off my re-interpretation of all the good things a taco should be: spicy, tasty, moist, and most of all packed with delicious veggies; using chicken and what I can find in my pantry at a moments notice. You could even simply top a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes with the taco meat and eat it as a taco salad - that would be very low fat!

Steps:
- Prepare your tacos/tortillas as directed on the packaging.
- Place your onions, green peppers, and oil into a non-stick pan/skillet on medium/medium-high heat and cook until the onions are soft. Add in the garlic and chopped roasted red peppers. Cook until the garlic is fragrant (don't let it burn).
- Move the veggies to the edge of the pan and place your ground chicken in the center. You'll want to keep breaking apart the meat as it cooks.
- In the meantime prepare your Taco sauce by combining in a small bowl your spices and corn starch. Then, add water and Tabasco sauce, stir well to combine.
- Just as the chicken finishes cooking (roughly 5-12 minutes) stir to combine all the veggies and the chicken together, breaking apart any large pieces of chicken. Add your sauce mixture and stir together. The sauce will thicken, coating the chicken mixture, add additional water/broth if needed one tablespoon at a time. Allow the sauce to cook through. Cover and set aside.
- Now you're ready to assemble your tacos. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture into your shells, top with cheese, guacamole, tomatoes, lettuce, and enjoy!
