Method
Preparation of Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken breast to the bowl, ensuring it is well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Taco Assembly
Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place a generous amount of chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a few slices of avocado. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately while warm, with lime wedges on the side if desired.
