Taco de Pollo Ingredients
Method
Taco de Pollo Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 3
Warm the Tortillas
While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable and slightly charred.
- 4
Assemble the Tacos
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each warm tortilla, layer slices of grilled chicken, diced onion, chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and avocado slices. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
