For the Chicken Marinade

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the adobo sauce, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove chicken from the grill and let it 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 to make them more pliable.

  2. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    Thinly slice the grilled chicken breasts.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a layer of julienned romaine, followed by the sliced chicken, diced mango, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Top with sliced jalapenos.
