Season the chicken with cumin, oregano, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, chipotle in adobo sauce, and lime juice.

Massage the seasoning into the chicken to ensure it's well-marinated.

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil to a non-stick skillet and heat it.

Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Chop some red onion and cilantro.

Add a little bit of oil to the non-stick skillet and place a flour tortilla on it.

Sprinkle a handful of mozzarella cheese on top of the tortilla.

Add the cooked chicken, red onion, and cilantro on top of the cheese.

Fold the tortilla and cook on medium-high heat until it gets a nice color and is crispy.

Repeat the process for additional tacos, using the remaining ingredients.
