Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
- 2
Prepare the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- 3
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.
- 4
Prepare the Tortillas
While the chicken is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on a separate pan over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.
- 5
Assemble the Tacos
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. Place the sliced chicken on the warmed tortillas and top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
- 6
Serve
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your Pollo Carbon!
