Chicken and Tacos

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet until soft. Place a generous amount of shredded chicken on each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top with diced onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced radishes. Drizzle with salsa roja and salsa verde to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
