Method

Prepare Chicken

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make Fresh Salsa

Combine Salsa Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

Assemble Tacos

Prepare Tortillas

Warm the soft taco tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Fill Tacos

Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place a generous amount of shredded lettuce on each tortilla, followed by the sliced chicken. Top with fresh salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

Serve

Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos!
