Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup red cabbage, finely sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Optional: Salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potato: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potato cubes and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside in a bowl.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil glistens, add the diced chicken breast. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

      Combine the Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked sweet potato into the skillet with the chicken. Stir carefully to combine and allow everything to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring a delightful mix of flavors.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly over the stove flame, warm each corn tortilla one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side. The tortillas should be pliable and slightly toasted.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each warm corn tortilla, pile a generous spoonful of the chicken and sweet potato mixture. Top with fresh slices of avocado, a small handful of red cabbage, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness.

            Serve: Present the tacos on a platter with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos. If desired, offer salsa or hot sauce for those who like an extra punch.
