A vibrant dish featuring grilled spicy chicken on crispy corn tortillas, topped with fresh ingredients for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Once heated, grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through with nice grill marks.
  5. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
  6. Heat corn tortillas on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy and slightly charred.
  7. Spread refried beans on each tortilla, then top with grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For deeper flavors, marinate the chicken overnight. Experiment with toppings like guacamole or pico de gallo.
