Directions
-
Rinse the chicken briefly in cold water and pat dry. Place in a shallow glass or non-reactive dish.
-
In a small bowl combine the garlic, lime juice, olive oil, agave, cumin and fresh ground pepper. Pour the marinade over and under the chicken breasts. Cover tightly and marinate for at least an hour; overnight is even better.
-
When the grill is hot, remove the chicken from the dish and discard the marinade.
-
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat until it is cooked through and is no longer pink inside- about 12 to 15 minutes.
-
Assemble and ready your remaining taco fixin’s.
-
Place the cooked chicken on a clean cutting board and slice thin.
-
Serve your tacos at a room temperature, if pliable and very fresh; or heat them gently. Here’s what I do.
-
In a clean skillet or griddle, heat a scant amount of olive oil and briefly heat the white corn tortillas one or two at a time, coating them with just a scant amount of oil to soften them; remove to a tortilla warmer lined with a clean, warm towel.
