Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup Sumo Spice Chili Crisp
- 2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
3. Grill Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.
4. Warm Tortillas: Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. Keep them warm by wrapping in a clean cloth or foil.
5. Assemble Tacos: Spread a spoonful of chili crisp on each tortilla. Add the grilled chicken strips on top. Garnish with sliced jalapenos, chopped onion, and cilantro. If desired, squeeze a little lime juice over each taco for extra zing.
6. Serve: Serve the tacos immediately, accompanied by lime wedges and extra chili crisp on the side for those who want an extra kick.
Enjoy your grilled chicken tacos! The combination of smoky grilled chicken with the spicy chili crisp and the freshness of cilantro and jalapenos will create a burst of flavors in your mouth.
