  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
For Assembling Tacos
  • 8 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken to the marinade, cover, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat.
  2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
  3. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, then top with diced onion and fresh cilantro.
  2. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for about 3 days. Store chicken separately from tortillas and toppings. Reheat chicken on the grill or in a skillet before serving again. Consider marinating chicken longer for deeper flavor and swap in vegetables for variety.
