Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup coconut milk
Juice of 2 limes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze additional lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side.
