Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper, sliced (optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken onto each tortilla. Top with red onion, cilantro, avocado, tomato, and jalapeño slices if desired.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor.
