Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
3
Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of grilled chicken onto a tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, a slice of red onion, and a squeeze of lime juice.
