Creating Easy Blackened Chicken Tacos is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Spices: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and rub them generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring an even coating.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Allow the skillet to get hot.
4. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until well browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once rested, slice the chicken into thin strips.
7. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan or in the microwave, warm the tortillas until pliable.
8. Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced chicken. Top with diced red onion and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
9. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro if desired and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.

By following these simple steps, you’ll craft amazing tacos that will delight anyone lucky enough to enjoy them!
