  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. dried oregano

Instructions

  • Place a non-stick pan with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add the ground chicken breast to the pan of onions and garlic, breaking it into smaller crumbles as it cooks.
  • Once broken, add the taco seasoning-- sprinkling over the entire pan.
  • Allow the ground chicken to cook until cooked through.
  • While you're waiting for the chicken to cook, make the Avocado Corn Salsa
  • and refrigerate until needed. Also dice the roma tomatoes and scallion.
