Description
Delicious and tender chicken tacos perfect for any weeknight dinner or weekend gathering, topped with fresh salsa and cilantro.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Sliced radishes (optional)
- Avocado or guacamole (optional)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in this mixture, ensuring they’re well coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet.
- Assemble your tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla and top with diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and any optional ingredients.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and add salsa or hot sauce to serve.
