Grilled Chicken Tacos are a delicious and flavorful dish, perfect for a quick meal or a casual gathering. Here’s a simple recipe

Ingredients:

• For the grilled chicken tacos:
  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the tacos:
  • Soft corn or flour tortillas (6-8)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges
  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole or avocado slices
  • Sour cream or Mexican crema (optional)
  • Shredded lettuce or cabbage (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:
   • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
   • Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20-30 minutes. If you have more time, marinate for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
2. Grill the chicken:
   • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
   • Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. Prepare the tacos:
   • Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until soft and pliable.
   • Place the grilled chicken slices onto each tortilla.
4. Assemble the tacos:
   • Top the chicken with fresh cilantro, red onion, salsa or pico de gallo, guacamole or avocado slices, sour cream or crema, and shredded lettuce or cabbage, if desired.
   • Squeeze lime wedges over the tacos before serving.

Tips:

• Add a spicy kick by drizzling some hot sauce over the tacos.
• Customize the toppings to your preference, such as adding cheese, pickled jala tacos or other fresh vegetables.

These grilled chicken tacos are perfect for any taco night and can be enjoyed with your favorite sides, like Mexican rice, beans, or chips and salsa!
