**1. Prepare the Chicken:**
Start by preparing the chicken breasts. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade mixture all over the chicken breasts. Let the chicken sit for about 10-15 minutes to marinate and absorb the flavors.
**2. Cook the Chicken:**
Heat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
**4. Warm the Tortillas:**
While the vegetables cook, warm the tortillas on a separate pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, or until soft and pliable.
**5. Assemble the Tacos:**
To assemble the tacos, place a warm tortilla on a plate. Add a few strips of the cooked chicken, followed by a generous amount of the sautéed vegetables. Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. For added richness, you can add sour cream or guacamole, or top with your favorite salsa.
