Preparation

  2. Heat the grill to medium-high.
Cooking
  1. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C.
  2. Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Place the corn tortillas on the grill and warm them for about 30 seconds per side.
Assembly
  1. Divide the sliced grilled chicken among the warm corn tortillas.
  2. Add diced onion and chopped cilantro to each taco, then squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
Serving
  1. Serve the chicken street tacos immediately with additional lime wedges if desired.

Notes
