Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, marinate the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until they are translucent and slightly caramelized.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the soft taco tortillas on the grill or in a pan. On each tortilla, layer slices of grilled chicken, sautéed onions, and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Squeeze lime juice over the tacos.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm with additional lime wedges if desired.
