1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your 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). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

3
Prepare Toppings
While the chicken is resting, chop the lettuce and dice the tomato. Set aside.
4
Assemble Tacos
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Take a taco shell or tortilla, add chicken strips, top with lettuce, diced tomato, and shredded cheese. Repeat for all tacos.
