Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss chicken strips with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through.
While chicken cooks, warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable and slightly charred.
To assemble each taco, layer with shredded lettuce, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
Sprinkle with cheddar and cotija cheese, then top with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
