Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Place equal amounts of chicken on each tortilla.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Top each taco with Mexican rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, and tomatillo sauce. Fold the tortillas and serve immediately.
