Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the hot grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Taco Assembly

  1. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    After resting, slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.

  2. 7

    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.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm. Enjoy!
