Jamie Oliver Chicken Tacos
The Jamie Oliver Chicken Tacos are soft tortillas filled with seasoned chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavourful toppings such as salsa, herbs, or yoghurt-based sauces.
The recipe focuses on quick pan-cooking and fresh assembly.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts or thighs (sliced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 small tortillas
For the Toppings:
- 1 tomato (diced)
- ½ red onion (finely sliced)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- Handful fresh coriander
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
Optional:
- Sour cream or Greek yoghurt
- Hot sauce or chilli flakes
- Grated cheese
Instructions
In a bowl, mix chicken with olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.
This helps the spices penetrate the meat.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
While the chicken cooks, chop tomatoes, slice onions, shred lettuce, and cut avocado.
Fresh toppings add colour and balance.
Warm tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave.
Warm tortillas are softer and easier to fold.
Fill each tortilla with cooked chicken.
Top with tomatoes, onion, lettuce, avocado, and coriander.
Add yoghurt, cheese, or hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately.
