Method
Marinade Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
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
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
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).
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Taco Assembly
Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
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.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
