Method

Preparation

Prepare the Chicken

Start by cleaning the chicken breasts under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cooking

Grill the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Slice the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.

Assembly

Prepare the Tacos

Warm the soft taco tortillas on the grill or a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.

Assemble the Tacos

Place a portion of grilled chicken in each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, avocado slices, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
