Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is resting, finely chop the onion and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, then top with chopped onion and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with additional lime wedges on the side if desired.
