  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Paleo

Description

Quick and flavorful Chicken Street Tacos with marinated chicken and fresh toppings, bringing vibrant street food to your kitchen.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 4 Corn tortillas
  • 1 Onion (diced)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 Lime (for squeezing)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Take the chicken off the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, slice or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. While the chicken is resting, warm your corn tortillas on the grill or stovetop until pliable.
  5. Place the grilled chicken onto a tortilla. Top with diced onion and chopped cilantro.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over your tacos just before serving for that extra zing!

Notes

Marinating the chicken for up to 2 hours enhances the flavor. Fresh toppings are essential for the best result.
