1
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by preheating your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3
Cook the Chicken
Once marinated, place the chicken on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is no longer pink in the middle.
4
Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5
Warm the Tortillas
While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6
Assemble the Tacos
Take a warm tortilla, add a generous amount of shredded chicken, and top with your favorite toppings such as diced onions, cilantro, avocado, and salsa.
