Grilled Taco Chicken


1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-3 juicy limes
1-2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly ground pepper

Place chicken in a heavy duty Ziploc bag.  Squeeze limes over chicken.  Add splash of vinegar and the garlic.  Seal bag and shake to distribute the marinade.  Marinate 4-8 hours.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°).

Combine seasonings in a small bowl.  Remove chicken from the bag and discard the marinade.  Rub spices into chicken.

Place chicken on hot grill.  Grill 7 minutes, turn over and grill 5-7 minutes more.  Remove from heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Great for tacos or a taco salad.
