Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    In each taco shell, add a portion of shredded chicken, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and top with shredded cheddar cheese and salsa.
