Chicken Marinade

Taco Assembly

Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. 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 375-450°F or 190-232°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

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

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on a grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 6

    Slice the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into strips.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a few strips of grilled chicken, followed by diced red onion, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
