Method

Preparing Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Slice the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the chicken is resting, warm the soft taco tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a few slices of grilled chicken in the center of each warm tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    If desired, sprinkle fresh cilantro over the tacos for added flavor.
