Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lime
- 8 pieces gluten-free corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 1 piece avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free taco seasoning, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and tenderize them lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-covered. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
While the chicken marinates, finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
Step 6
Once the grill is preheated, place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the grill, allow it to rest for a few minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.
Step 8
Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas on the grill for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
Step 9
To assemble the tacos, place a few strips of grilled chicken on each tortilla.
Step 10
Top with a mix of chopped cilantro, red onion, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Step 11
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos for a zesty finish.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free grilled chicken tacos.
