Easy Grilled Chicken for Tacos Recipe

Sometimes something is so easy you feel like it would be a total waste to ever tell anyone because chances are they are already doing it and it’s so easy it will almost make you look ridiculous to be making a big deal out of it, but here we are doing just that. I’m sharing our easy grilled chicken for tacos recipe because people have asked us what we do for our tacos or mentioned how yummy it smells while cooking so forgive me for posting a recipe that really isn’t a recipe.

On days that are crazy busy but we still need to get dinner on the table that isn’t pancakes or leftovers we tend to turn on the grill and bust out a little Mexican. Not literally a little Mexican person, that sounded weird. I mean we make something like tacos or whatever. We literally just take boneless, skinless breasts, sprinkle evenly with a good taco seasoning or homemade (Rachel Cooks’ recipe is the one we use), oil the grill and cook until done. Then we shred the meat, add our toppings and a squeeze of lime and tada! Yes, you could do it in the oven or a pan, but the smokiness from the grill is really the secret here. It makes everything taste a little more delicious.

But, you could use taco seasoning if you don’t have any fajita seasoning.

You could even add a little more cumin to boost the taste.
