Chicken Taco Ingredients

Method

Chicken Taco Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Rest the Chicken

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

  6. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the chicken rests, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place them in the warm tortillas. Top with chopped fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and pico de gallo.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
