Method

Preparing the Grilled Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Prepare the Ingredients

    While the chicken is resting, thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warmed and pliable.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced grilled chicken, shredded cabbage, red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices. Top with salsa to your liking.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
