Step 2: In a larger mixing bowl, use tongs to toss chicken with olive oil, herbs and spices, and lime juice until chicken is coated. Let marinate if you have time.
Step 3: Using your indoor or outdoor grill or a skillet, cook marinated chicken.
Step 4: Flip and cook on the other side. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temp of the cooked chicken breast reaches 165F. Remove from grill and let rest before cutting.
Step 5: Place tortillas on a flat surface or cutting board. In the center of the tortilla, add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, chicken and some sauce drizzled on top.

Recipe Tips
If you have thicker chicken breasts, slice them into thinner pieces that are ½ inch thick.
Short on time? Use leftover chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken.
If you have the time, let the chicken marinate in the mixture to really bring out the best flavors. Overnight is optimal, but this is optional and if you don’t have the time, don’t stress out.
Warm tortillas are the easiest to work with. They roll the easiest.
