Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn or flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
• 0 to taste Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, place them in a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 5

While the chicken rests, prepare the lime crema by mixing sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 6

Warm the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering each tortilla with shredded lettuce, grilled chicken slices, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a drizzle of lime crema. Add hot sauce if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos!
