Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lime
- 8 pieces gluten-free corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 1 piece avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free taco seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and tenderize them lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-covered. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the chicken marinates, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Once the grill is preheated, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill, allow it to rest for a few minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas on the grill for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a few strips of grilled chicken on each tortilla.
Top with a mix of chopped cilantro, red onion, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for a zesty finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free grilled chicken tacos.
