Equipment

  • grill

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 8 tortilla wraps
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 8 tbsp salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in a ziplock bag with the olive oil, lime juice, honey, oregano and cilantro. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but for no longer than 24 hours.
  • Heat grill to a medium heat.
  • Baste chicken with marinade until cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. The internal temperature of the chicken should read at least 155 when you pull it from the grill.
  • Let chicken cool and then slice.
  • Heat the tortillas up in a skillet over medium heat. Place in an aluminum foil packet as you heat each one.
  • Put all ingredients on the tortilla shell and enjoy!
