Chili Lime Chicken Tacos

serves 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest of two limes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper

Whisk together lime juice, cilantro and olive oil. Pour over chicken breasts. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine lime zest, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour off excess liquid from chicken and cover generously with spice mixture. Cover and chill at least one hour.

Bring chicken to room temperature. Grill over medium-high heat, approximately 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve with warm tortillas, crisp greens and the salsa of your choice.
