Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8–12 corn tortillas (small size, street taco-style)
  • ½ cup white onion (finely chopped)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Cotija cheese, avocado slices, salsa verde, pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by combining lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Allow the chicken to soak up the flavors for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
  3. Warm corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
  4. After resting the grilled chicken for a few minutes, slice it into bite-sized pieces and assemble your tacos by placing chicken on each tortilla and topping with onion and cilantro.
  5. Serve with lime wedges and any additional toppings you desire.
