INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, shallot, salt and peppercorns in a zipper-lock plastic bag; add the chicken. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag once, for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to the highest setting. Shake any excess marinade from the chicken. Grill, until cooked through, about 7 minutes on the first side, and 5 minutes on the second side.

Heat a large skillet or nonstick saute pan and heat the tortillas for 15 seconds on each side until warm. Alternatively, tortillas can be grilled lightly, about 15 seconds per side.

Thinly slice the chicken breasts on a bias. Spread each warmed tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of the guacamole and fill with one sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortillas and serve each with 2 tablespoons of the salsa.

These were fantastic! So simple too. I followed the recipe exactly... I was sure there needed to be more lime juice for that much chicken... but I was wrong. It was perfect. Great job! This will be my "go to" grilled chicken for mexican meals. We all loved it! Thank you!

I cook a LOT. This is one of the most delicious chicken marinades I have used, even my daughter who doesn't care for chicken loves this one. I often just serve it over lettuce and add the avocados to the salad rather than make burritos.

Delissh!!! Of course, me being the frugal person I am, I used whatever I had available at the house: boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts, canola oil instead of olive, lemon juice instead of lime, pre-made guacamole from store, no salsa, no shallots & used a premixed bag of salad. And I cut the chicken ahead of time before cooking it and then did the marinade overnight. I will post the pictures soon. Thank your for such an easy recipe.
