Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless thick chicken breasts cut in half horizontally
- 8 taco corn tortillas
MARINADE
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp agave
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
TOPPINGS
- Pico de gallo
- Corn optional
- Guacamole
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for the marinade. Add marinade and chicken to a ziplock bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes, up to 3 hours.
- Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat and slice into long strips.
- Cook tortillas on the grill for approximately 30 seconds on each side.
- To assemble the tacos, add chicken, pico de gallo, corn, and guacamole to the tortillas. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Use fresh lime juice. It has a robust flavor and you'll notice the difference.
- Cut the chicken so it's an even thickness so that it cooks evenly.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the chicken to get nice and juicy.
- Warm the tortillas before filling them. This helps them to become more pliable and easier to wrap.
- You can top these with many different optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, red onion, green onion, or even jalapeños.
