1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and lime juice. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the 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).
3
Rest the Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4
Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
5
Slice the Chicken
Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips after resting.
6
Assemble the Tacos
Place a portion of sliced chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce.
7
Serve
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side if desired.
