Ingredients

To make the perfect grilled tequila lime chicken tacos, here's what you'll need:

  • 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup of tequila
  • 1/4 cup of lime juice
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Marinating the Chicken

Start by marinating the chicken breasts to infuse them with flavors. In a bowl, combine the tequila, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and gently massage it to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or preferably overnight to maximize the flavors.

Grilling the Chicken

Once the chicken is adequately marinated, it's time to fire up the grill and cook it to perfection. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess liquid.

Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Make sure to turn the chicken halfway through for even cooking and beautiful grill marks.

Assembling the Tacos

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, thinly slice the chicken breasts into strips.

To assemble the tacos, warm up your favorite tortillas (corn or flour) on a hot skillet or directly on the grill for a nice charred flavor. Place some sliced grilled chicken on each tortilla and garnish with your choice of toppings:

  • Freshly diced tomatoes
  • Chopped lettuce
  • Finely sliced red onions
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Crumbled queso fresco
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Salsa or hot sauce

Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the tacos for an extra zingy kick. Fold the tortillas and enjoy these amazing grilled tequila lime chicken tacos!
