Grilled Chicken Street Tacos

 Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 20-22 mini white corn tortillas, warmed 
  • Pico de gallo 
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime juice
  • Hot sauce (Valentina)
  • Sour cream
For the Marinade
  • 4 Tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons chipotle chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves 
  • 2 teaspoons paprika 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Make chicken marinade by combining all marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Add chicken thighs. 

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. 

Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Generously spray with cooking spray. Remove chicken with marinade and place on hot grill. 

Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping once. (Thickest part of the chicken thigh should register about 165 degrees). 

Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before chopping into small pieces. 

Layer two warmed mini corn tortillas together. Top with chopped chicken, pico de gallo, cilantro, hot sauce, and sour cream. Spritz with a little bit of lime juice. Serve immediately. 

Serve with a side of Mexican rice or other side dish. 

Enjoy!
