I modified this grilled chicken taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out quickly and are very forgiving.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon saz?n seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- canola oil cooking spray
- 1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Combine cumin, oregano, saz?n, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add lime juice and olive oil and stir to make marinade. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 12 hours.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill marinated chicken until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and shred chicken with forks.
Step 3
Spray canola oil onto tortillas and heat on the grill approximately 45 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep warm. Serve with shredded chicken.
Tips
As an alternative to grilling, heat 1 tablespoon of canola or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add seasoned chicken and saut? until cooked through. Heat tortillas per package directions and serve with chicken and garnishes of your choice.
