Preparation

Preparing Chicken

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from the grill and let rest.

Making Ranchero Sauce

3. Prepare the Vegetables

Chop tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeño into small pieces.

4. Cook the Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the chopped vegetables and cook until softened (about 10 minutes). Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assembling the Dish

5. Top the Chicken

Place grilled chicken breasts on a serving plate. Spoon ranchero sauce over each piece and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Cover with a lid or foil to melt the cheese.

6. Add Toppings

Slice the avocado and tomato. Top the chicken with avocado slices, jalapeño slices, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with shredded lettuce.

Serving

7. Plate the Sides

Serve the Pollo Tapatio with cooked rice and refried beans on the side.
