Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Make Fresh Salsa

  1. 3

    Chop Ingredients

    Finely chop the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).

  2. 4

    Mix Salsa

    In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Stir well and season with salt to taste.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Prepare Tortillas

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

  2. 6

    Fill Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place a few strips of chicken in each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa, sliced avocado, and lettuce.
