Tacos de Pollo al Limón are a zesty and flavorful dish that combines marinated grilled chicken with the bright notes of lime, perfect for a summer BBQ. Served in warm corn tortillas, these tacos are both refreshing and satisfying, making them an excellent choice for any taco night.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Lime juice - 60 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few 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 chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and red onion.
7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
