Ingredients
  

Chicken Marinade
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Taco Assembly
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño sliced optional for heat

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken strips for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Assemble Tacos
  1. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and sliced jalapeño.
