Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Prepare Guacamole

    In a separate bowl, mash the avocado and mix with salt and lime juice to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir well and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 5

    Warm Tortillas

    While the chicken is resting, warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Build Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, layer sliced chicken, jack cheese, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side.
