Instructions
 

Make the Cajun Chicken

  • Cut your chicken breasts into cubes and add them to a bowl.
  • Mix all the spices in a small bowl to make your homemade Cajun spice mix.
  • Season your chicken with the Cajun spice mixture and mix well so the chicken is evenly coated.
  • In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat till it shimmers.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook till golden brown and cooked trough (8-12 minutes). Make sure to cook the chicken on both sides by turning it and also keep moving it from time to time so it does not burn. It is important to keep an eye on it.

Serve the tacos

  • Serve the Cajun chicken together with refried beans, salsa, guacamole, pickled onions, fresh cilantro and a splash of fresh lime juice.
    We usually start by adding refried beans as the first layer on our tacos. then guacamole topped with the chicken. Salsa and pickled onions on top and then finish it off with the fresh cilantro and lime juice. The best way is to serve it all as a tacos bar on the table and let everyone fill their own tacos.
    Enjoy!
