Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cut the chicken breast into smaller pieces if desired, and coat them with the seasoning mixture evenly.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  2. 5

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  2. 7

    Place a portion of the sliced grilled chicken in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 8

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado and place it on top of the chicken in each taco.

  4. 9

    Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the tacos.

  5. 10

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
