Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or shredded cheese of choice

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese. Add sour cream or salsa if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm with your favorite sides.
