Cooking Instructions

  • Make chicken marinade by combining all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Grease the grill or spray generously with cooking spray. Remove chicken from marinade and place on hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping once. Transfer chicken to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before chopping into small pieces.
  • Warm tortillas on dry grill or skillet for a few seconds on each side. Layer two warmed tortillas together. Top with chopped chicken, pico de gallo, cilantro, hot sauce, sour cream, pickled red onion, or desired toppings. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing on top.

Notes

Serving Size is 3 tacos. The marinade can be made and kept in the fridge for a few days. Marinate the chicken for a few hours, up to overnight to make this meal even easier.
