(2 servings | 4 tacos)

Ingredients

Marinade:

Zest of 1 lime
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup oil
Splash of Sauvignon Blanc (optional)

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts - pounded to even thickness

Avocado Salsa:

Juice of 1 lime
1/3 cup red onion, diced
1 small jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 avocado
Cilantro, roughly chopped
Salt to taste

For Serving:

6 corn tortillas (taco-sized)
Lime wedges (optional)
Cilantro garnish (optional)

Directions

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag, add the marinade, remove any air, and seal the bag. Shake bag to coat chicken. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.

While the chicken is marinating make the salsa. In a separate bowl, gently combine the avocado salsa ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.

Remove chicken from the bag and discard excess marinade. Grill over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, warm up the tortillas in a pan or grill on medium-low heat, flipping on each side.

Transfer chicken to a platter and cover with foil. Allow to set for 3-5 minutes. Thinly slice and serve in tortillas with the avocado salsa, lime wedges, and cilantro garnish as desired.

For the marinade, you can use whichever spices available in your pantry! Chipotle powder can add a smokiness. Ancho chile powder to add some heat. Oregano for an earthy flavor.
