Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side until they are soft and pliable.

  7. 7

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips and assemble tacos by placing chicken on each tortilla and topping with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro if desired.
