Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
3 tablespoons chili powder
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3)
12 corn tortillas
Shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or salsa, for serving
Directions
- Prepare a grill for medium heat.
- Mix the oil, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl to make a paste. Pound the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thick. Rub the chicken all over with the chili paste.
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until firm to the touch and cooked through, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then shred the meat into bite-size pieces or cut into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill and wrap in a kitchen towel to stay warm.
- Serve the chicken tacos with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or salsa for topping.
