Servings: 4

Ingredients

Chicken breasts (2, boneless and skinless)
Lime juice (1/4 cup, freshly squeezed)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Cumin (1 teaspoon)
Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
Corn tortillas (8)
Onion (1, small, diced)
Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Salsa (1/2 cup)
Lime wedges (8)

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create a zesty marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, making sure the chicken is fully coated. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but for the best flavor, overnight is suggested.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the excess marinade, and grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side. Look for a nicely charred exterior and a fully cooked interior.
After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until they are pliable and slightly charred.
To assemble your tacos, fill each warmed tortilla with the sliced grilled chicken, add a sprinkle of diced onion and chopped cilantro, and top with a spoonful of your favorite salsa.
Serve your delicious, authentic Mexican street tacos with a lime wedge on the side for that extra splash of tanginess. Enjoy!
