Grilled Chicken Tacos with Guacamole and Pico de Gallo

These grilled chicken tacos are the perfect weeknight meal. They're easy to make, and they're packed with flavor. The chicken is marinated in a simple blend of spices, then grilled until it's cooked through. The tacos are then topped with guacamole and pico de gallo, and served on warm corn tortillas.

I first had these tacos at a food truck in Austin, Texas. I was immediately hooked on the combination of flavors and textures. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the guacamole was creamy and rich, and the pico de gallo added a nice bit of acidity. I've been making these tacos at home ever since, and they've become a favorite of my family and friends.

Why It Works
