Chicken Marinade

Taco Assembly

Method

Marinate Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grill Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Prepare Tortillas

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

  2. 6

    Slice Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

  3. 7

    Build Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced chicken, diced red onion, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Top with a dollop of sour cream and serve with lime wedges on the side.
