Spicy Grilled Chicken Tacos

This recipe features marinated grilled chicken breasts topped with pepperjack cheese, served in warm tortillas with fresh toppings. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
8 small flour or corn tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of grilling, place shredded pepperjack cheese on top of the chicken and close the grill lid to melt.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it in the warm tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm.
