Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 1 large onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Whisk lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss to coat, and marinate at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill 5-7 minutes per side until internal temp reaches 165°F and charred.
  3. Toss peppers and onion with olive oil and salt, then grill 8-10 minutes, turning once, until softened and blackened.
  4. Rest chicken a couple minutes, slice against the grain, and serve on a platter with vegetables, warm tortillas, and toppings.

Notes

If using chicken breasts instead of thighs, pound them to an even thickness and grill about 4-5 minutes per side. For extra smoky flavor, you can toss the vegetables with a few drops of liquid smoke before grilling.
