Flavorful Chicken Street Tacos bursting with juicy chicken, vibrant toppings, and customizable options, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- Corn tortillas (8-10 small or medium)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 limes (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until blended. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag, pour marinade over, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Let rest before slicing.
- Prepare the Tacos: Warm corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Assemble tacos with sliced chicken, chopped onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
Cook the chicken in batches if necessary and warm tortillas just before serving for best texture. Let chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
