Method

Marinating the Chicken

Prepare Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Marinate Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Making Guacamole

Prepare Ingredients

Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Finely chop the red onion and tomato, and chop the cilantro.

Mix Guacamole

Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, red onion, tomato, cilantro, and salt. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

Grilling Chicken

Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Grill Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Bandito Pollo

Layer Ingredients

On a serving plate or in a wrap, layer the sliced grilled chicken, guacamole, shredded sharp cheddar, shredded Monterey Jack, diced tomato, and drizzle with Bandito sauce.
