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 (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  3. Warm the Tortillas: While grilling the chicken, warm corn tortillas on another grill or skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
  4. Assemble Your Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Place on warm tortillas and top with chopped onion and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
  5. Serve: Offer optional toppings like cotija cheese or avocado slices for a personalized touch.
