Steps

  1. Toss chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, half the lime juice and 1 tbsp oil.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until 165°F inside.
  3. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thin and squeeze over the rest of the lime.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry pan, about 20 seconds per side.
  5. Fill with chicken, cabbage, a spoon of sour cream, cilantro and hot sauce.
Tip: Thighs stay juicy even if you overshoot a minute. Breasts work but pull them at 160°F.
