Method
 

Marinating and Grilling
  1. Marinate your chicken in a blend of lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F.
  3. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Rest the grilled chicken for about 5 minutes on a cutting board.
  5. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips for easy filling.
  6. Prepare your tortillas by warming them on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Assemble your tacos by layering sliced grilled chicken, fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime on each tortilla.
