These tacos were amazing! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and the spice rub was perfect. I served them with grilled pineapple and avocado salsa, and they were a huge hit.

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in about 10 minutes per side. The spice rub is spot-on and gives the chicken a great flavor.
