Ingredients

Marinade

Preparation

Marinade Preparation

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Grilling

3. Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Rest the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Taco Assembly

6. Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

7. Assemble the Tacos

Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced grilled chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices.

8. Serve

Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
