Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Char the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a serving bowl.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On top of the romaine, add sliced grilled chicken, pico de gallo, guacamole, and crumbled queso fresco. Drizzle with sour cream and serve with lime wedges on the side.
