Taco Components

Marinade for Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the shredded chicken on each tortilla. Top with Chihuahua cheese.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken & Cheese Tacos!
