Chicken Marinade

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and make sure they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Salsa

  1. 3

    Make the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix and set aside.

Grilling Chicken and Assembly

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

  2. 5

    Slice the Chicken

    After resting, slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

  3. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of grilled chicken in each tortilla. Top with fresh salsa, sliced avocado, and crumbled feta cheese.
