Ingredients

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
5. While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, then top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and hot sauce to taste.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy grilled chicken tacos!
