Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 piece jalapeño pepper, sliced (optional)
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken onto each tortilla. Top with red onion, cilantro, avocado, tomato, and jalapeño slices if desired.

Step 8

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor.
