Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 unit small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 unit avocado, sliced
- 4 pieces fresh lime wedges
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss well to ensure all pieces are fully coated. Let it marinade for at least 15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, place the chicken strips on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let sit for a couple of minutes.
Step 5
While the chicken is resting, heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or until they are warm and slightly charred.
Step 6
Divide the grilled chicken among the warm tortillas.
Step 7
Top each taco with a portion of chopped red onion, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.
Step 8
Drizzle non-fat Greek yogurt over each taco or serve on the side.
Step 9
Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for an extra burst of citrusy flavor.
