  • Place the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  • Pull the oven rack out and drape each tortilla over two bars of the rack to make a U-shape taco shell.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tortillas are browned and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, and cool on a baking sheet.
  • To make the chicken filling, in a medium bowl, combine the garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Toss the chicken pieces in the seasoning mixture until completely coated.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the coated chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Add pico de gallo, avocado, and one-eighth of the chicken to each taco shell.
  • Top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and squeezed lime juice.
