    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the chicken into thin strips, then combine with the marinade ingredients: orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

    2

    Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

    3

    In a hot grill pan or on a grill, cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown on the outside and juicy inside.

    4

    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

    5

    Lightly toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet to keep them pliable.

    6

    Serve the grilled chicken on the tortillas, topped with chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and diced tomatoes. Serve with guacamole and lime wedges.
