Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 leaves romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 whole diced avocado
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the ingredients together.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Step 5
Assemble the tacos using lettuce leaves as the taco shells. Divide the grilled chicken strips among the lettuce leaves.
Step 6
Top each taco with diced avocado, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Step 7
Enjoy your flavorful and healthy Whole30 Grilled Chicken Tacos!
