- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small tortillas
- Fresh toppings (chopped cilantro, diced onion, sliced jalapeños, lime wedges)

Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavor. For a twist, add toppings like avocado or crumbled feta.
