Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
- to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, place them in a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken rests, prepare the lime crema by mixing sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Warm the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering each tortilla with shredded lettuce, grilled chicken slices, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a drizzle of lime crema. Add hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos!
