Garlic Lime Chicken Tacos with Lime Crema



These Easy Garlic Lime Chicken Tacos are packed with flavor and topped with a zesty Lime Crema. Perfect for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade

Cut chicken breasts into small strips and place them in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish

Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or longer for better flavor

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the lime crema

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime zest, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper

Refrigerate until ready to use

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat

Cook the marinated chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks

Warm the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side

To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked chicken onto each tortilla

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro

Drizzle the lime crema over the toppings, and serve immediately
