Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breast and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    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 (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Make Salsa

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Build Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place a few strips on each tortilla, top with fresh salsa, and add sliced avocado. Serve immediately.
