This recipe features marinated grilled chicken served in soft tortillas, topped with fresh vegetables and a squeeze of lime. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
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 diced red onion
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 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 and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let 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 in the warm tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese if using.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
