Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
Step 2
Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
Step 4
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each 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 thinly against the grain.
Step 6
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or directly on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Step 7
Assemble your tacos by placing a few slices of chipotle chicken into each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for extra flavor.
