Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 large avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 fresh lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 20-30 seconds on each side or until slightly charred.
Step 7
Mash the avocado in a small bowl until smooth and spread a spoonful onto each tortilla.
Step 8
Top each tortilla with grilled chicken strips, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, slices of red onion, and diced tomato.
Step 9
Finish with a dollop of low-fat plain Greek yogurt and serve with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
Step 10
Serve the tacos immediately while warm, and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
