Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

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

Grilling and Assembly

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    After resting, slice the grilled chicken into strips.

  3. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by the sliced grilled chicken, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm and enjoy!
