Summertime Chicken Tacos Recipe

Summertime Chicken Tacos recipe

From Quick Cooking Magazine. Prep time does not include marinating time. Try these tempting tacos when you're looking for a change of pace from regular tacos. A mild zing from the lime juice in the marinade for the chicken comes through after grilling. I like to serve them with salsa, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. -Susan Scott, Asheville, North Carolina

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
