Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
3. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and place them in a zip-top bag.
4. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the chicken to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro lime sauce by combining the sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapeno, honey, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
7. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
9. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
10. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the cilantro lime sauce on each tortilla.
11. Top with sliced grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and a drizzle of additional cilantro lime sauce.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
