These Easy Chili Lime Chicken Tacos are a Delicious Way to Kick Off Grilling Season

Grilling season is finally here! It feels like it’s been ages since I last broke out my grill–maybe because it has been! We officially kicked off summer with these Chili Lime Chicken Tacos the other day. And they hit. the. spot.

The marinade for these lime chicken tacos is simple. It’s just a mix of pantry staples including salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic cloves, olive oil, and lime juice! Add your chicken to this mixture and marinate it at least one hour or up to four hours. Then, grill up your chicken!

Keep your heat over medium to ensure that you’ll cook the chicken through on the inside without burning it to a crisp on the outside. Don’t worry if it does get some charring–that’s the beauty (and flavor!) that comes from grilling!

Pro tip: Cut into the thickest part of the largest piece of chicken breast to see if your chicken is done. If it’s cooked through there, there’s a good chance all the chicken is done. Next up is the really fun part: adding toppings! I love these with a corn tortilla (char them briefly on your grill!), cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and plenty of avocado.

I hope your summer is getting off to a good start and that you have a chance to make these Chili Lime Chicken Tacos ASAP (Taco Tuesday, anyone? Or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday…you get the idea)! Scroll on to get all the recipe instructions ahead!
