Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, place the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side to warm them up.
Assemble the Tacos: Place the grilled chicken strips onto the warmed tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices. Drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
