Chicken Marinade

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine the sweet guava paste, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

2

Add Chicken

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

3

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

4

Rest and Slice

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Taco Assembly

5

Warm the Tortillas

In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

6

Assemble the Tacos

On each tortilla, layer the sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro on top.

7

Serve

Serve the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra zest.
