Instructions

  1. 1Thinly slice the chicken breast and slice the avocado. Do not rinse the chicken. Pat it dry, season it with kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder, and wash the board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
  2. 2Warm the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and the thickest piece reads 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Wash the board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
  3. 3Warm the corn tortillas in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until crisp at the edges and lightly golden.
  4. 4Toss the shredded cabbage with lime juice, salsa, and a pinch of kosher salt until crisp-tender and bright.
  5. 5Top each crisp tortilla with cabbage, black beans, chicken, and avocado. Taste and adjust with lime, salt, and black pepper.
