Begin by marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and cover it with foil.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding it with two forks.
In a blender, combine ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to create a smooth avocado crema.
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat until pliable. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of shredded chicken on each tortilla, drizzling with avocado crema, and topping with fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
