Taco Chicken

Taco Chicken
1 lb. chicken breasts or thighs (I can tell you right now that I'm a breast girl and Sara prefers thighs.)A couple of juicy limesA splash of red wine vinegar2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or coarsely chopped1 tsp. chili powder1/2 tsp. cumin1/2 tsp. Kosher salt1/2 tsp. black pepperJuice the limes and combine with a couple splashes of red wine vinegar. Add garlic. Pour over chicken. This will not completely cover the chicken; just turn it occasionally as needed. Marinate for at least 4 hours, no longer than 8.Heat an outdoor grill (you can also use a grill pan inside. Or your broiler in your oven.) Combine salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper in a small bowl. Remove chicken from marinade and rub the spices all over the chicken. Isn't raw meat disgusting-looking?Grill about 7 minutes per side.
Remove from heat and allow to stand a few minutes so it doesn't lose its juiciness. You can either eat the chicken as it is, maybe with Mexican rice and beans, or use slice it up and use it as you would taco meat.
