To make salsa:

To make chicken tacos:
Pre-heat the oven to 420° F (215° C)
Combine all the spices for the chicken rub with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, and rub on the chicken breasts.
Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, and sear the chicken breasts for 3 minutes on each side. Then place the chicken on a baking tray, and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through.
Heat up the tortillas in a hot oven or on a pan. Chop the cooked chicken, and assemble the tacos.
Before serving, garnish the tacos with chopped parsley and hot sauce (if using).
