Mexican-inspired · Main course · 27 min total

Quick and flavorful chicken tacos or wraps with a zesty lime-cilantro marinade, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate 10 minutes.
2. Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
3. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
4. Assemble tacos: fill each tortilla with diced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and cilantro. Add sour cream if desired.
5. For wraps: lay tortilla flat, place filling in center, fold sides in, then roll tightly. Cut in half.

Tips

• Serve with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
• Store leftover chicken in fridge for up to 3 days; reheat before assembling.
• For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
