Description
Easy and flavorful chicken street tacos perfect for any gathering or weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken with this flavorful mixture.
- Preheat your grill and cook the chicken until it’s cooked through and the juices run clear—about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
- Warm the corn tortillas on the grill. Just a minute on each side will do—they should be flexible and warm, ready to hold all that goodness!
- Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and pile it high in each tortilla.
- Add toppings! Include chopped onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime on top of the chicken.
- Serve immediately and watch everyone dive into deliciousness!
Notes
Marinate chicken for at least 15-30 minutes for better flavor. Experiment with additional spices if desired.
