Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Chop the onion

    Peel the onion and dice it small. Set it aside in a bowl.

  2. Cut the bell pepper

    Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and dice it small. Add it to the onion.

  3. Cut the chicken

    Cut the chicken into small pieces, about 1 cm each. Season lightly with salt.

  4. Cook the vegetables

    Heat the oil in the skillet and cook the onion and bell pepper over medium heat for 5 min, until soft.

    Tip · To keep the vegetables from burning, turn down the heat if needed and add a little water if the skillet gets too dry.

  5. Cook the chicken

    Add the chicken to the skillet and brown it over medium-high heat for 8 min, stirring often.

  6. Season the mix

    Sprinkle the paprika over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 more min.

  7. Warm the tortillas

    Quickly warm the tortillas in the hot skillet, 10 seconds per side, to soften them.

  8. Fill the tortillas

    Spread the chicken and vegetable mix over the tortillas. Add half the shredded cheese to each one.

  9. Melt the cheese

    Fold the tacos closed and toast them for 1 min in the skillet over low heat to melt the cheese.

    Tip · If the cheese isn't melting enough, cover the skillet with a lid for 30 seconds to speed it up.

  10. Serve with the yogurt

    Open the tacos and serve them with the plain yogurt on the side as a sauce.
