Ingredients: 2 avocados; 8 servings cabbage; 1 TBSP chili powder; 2 TBSP cilantro; 2 cups corn; 8 servings corn tortillas; 1 TBSP cumin; 8 servings evoo; 1 TBSP garlic powder; 8 servings garlic powder; 1 jalapeno pepper; 1 juice of lime; 1 juice of lime; 8 servings extra lime; 1 TBSP onion powder; 1 tsp pepper; 3 TBSP onion; 1 cup pepper; 2 roma tomatoes; 8 servings salsa; 0.5 TBSP salt; 8 servings salt and pepper; 3 chicken breasts; 8 servings cream

These chicken tacos get their smoky depth from a spice rub of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and onion before baking. Once the chicken breasts are cooked through and tender, shred them and pile them into warm corn tortillas. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime and a generous array of toppings like creamy avocado, crisp cabbage, and sweet corn for a build-your-own taco spread.
