Chicken Street Tacos:
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and taco seasoning.
- Marinate the chicken: Add chicken thighs to the bowl, toss to coat, cover, and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, discard excess, and grill for 4-6 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Rest and slice: Let chicken rest, then slice into strips.
- Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas on the grill or in the microwave.
- Assemble tacos: Place chicken strips on each tortilla, top with lettuce, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and crema. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Mix up the toppings with your favorites like avocado, cheese, or salsa.
- Adjust spice levels by adding more or less jalapeño.
- For a shortcut, use store-bought rotisserie chicken.
