Step 1
Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high; cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add the 1 cup corn kernels and cook over medium-high, stirring, until lightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.
Step 4
Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken and charred corn. Top with chopped cilantro, a drizzle of crema, and a squeeze of lime juice.
