Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the chicken, and seal or cover. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

3

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

4

Prepare the Tacos

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side.

5

Assemble the Tacos

Place sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
