A fresh grilled flavorful mesquite chicken breast with a flour tortilla and served with Spanish rice or French fries and a chilled garden salad.

In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Chicken

Soak the mesquite wood chips in water for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Preheat the Grill

Place the soaked mesquite wood chips in a smoker box or directly on the coals. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Grill the Chicken

During the last few minutes of grilling, place the flour tortillas on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side to warm them.

Warm the Tortillas

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the grilled chicken breasts wrapped in warm tortillas alongside Spanish rice or French fries and a chilled garden salad.
