Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

1. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Topping

1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
2. Set aside until ready to use.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with oil.
2. Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off.
3. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F/75°C).

Step 4: Add the Topping and Cheese

1. Reduce grill heat to low.
2. Spread the prepared creamy topping evenly over the grilled chicken.
3. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
4. Cover the grill and let the cheese melt (about 2 minutes).

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

1. Remove chicken from the grill and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips and chopped cilantro.
2. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.
