Chicken Marinade

Taco Assembly

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced chicken, red onion, avocado, and fresh cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
