The chili lime marinade creates the most flavorful chicken, ready to grill and fill your tacos.

In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper together.
¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, ½ teaspoon Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, Ground black pepper
Pat the chicken dry and place them in a Ziplock bag.
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Pour the marinade over the chicken, zip the bag, and massage until the chicken is well coated. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to marinate.
In a large bowl, whisk the greek yogurt, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Add in the cabbage, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno and toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lime juice, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 2 cups shredded green cabbage, ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 green onions, 1 jalapeño pepper
Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush (or spray if using a grill pan) with oil. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Grill the tortillas to warm through, 1-2 minutes per side.
8 corn tortillas
Slice the chicken into strips. Assemble the tacos with chicken, slaw, avocado, queso and optional salsa or hot sauce. Enjoy!
1 avocado, ½ cup queso fresco, Salsa

For the chicken, you can also use thighs or tenders. For thighs, they will need to grill for longer.
If you can't find Mexican oregano, opt for marjoram (not regular oregano)!
The chicken can marinate for up to 6 hours.
For a milder slaw, half, deseed, and then mince the jalapeño. Add as little or as much as you’d like.
Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes after grilling to seal in the juices.
