Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Chicken:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

1 ripe mango, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For the Tacos:

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

Crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, minced jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. On each tortilla, layer sliced chicken, a generous spoonful of mango salsa, a few slices of avocado, and sprinkle with crumbled feta or cotija cheese if desired.

            Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
