Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator 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.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Taco Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, place a few strips of chicken, a slice of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

  3. 8

    Serve

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