Start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor.
Next, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it with two forks.
In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and onions, sautéing them until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the avocado lime crema by blending ripe avocados, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
To assemble the tacos, warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Layer the shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a generous drizzle of avocado lime crema on each tortilla.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious tacos!
