Delicious Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos that transport you straight to Mexico with zesty lime and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Toppings: diced onions, avocado, salsa

Instructions

  1. Make the Zesty Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a vibrant marinade that promises flavor.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they’re well coated. For the best flavor, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Grill or pan-cook the marinated chicken over medium-high heat until it’s fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm your corn tortillas in a pan or on a grill until they’re pliable and slightly toasted.
  5. Assemble Your Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken into strips and place them in the warmed corn tortillas. Top with diced onions, creamy avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.

Notes

For extra crunch, pair with a corn salad or pickled red onions. Can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
