Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    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.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    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).

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    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.

  5. 5

    Serve

    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.
