•
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
•
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
•
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
•

1 medium heirloom tomato, seeded and diced

1/2 small red onion, diced

Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Combine onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with spice mixture and rub until evenly coated. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
3
Arrange chicken on the preheated grill and grill for 8 minutes. Turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4
Remove chicken from the grill and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, mix avocado, tomato, and red onion for salsa together in a small bowl. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
6
Slice chicken and top with salsa.
