Instructions

  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salsa by combining the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
