We made the most delicious and simple grilled chicken tacos the other day, and I knew I had to share the recipe with you! Marlowe had our neighbor over for a playdate and the girls were eating them in the backyard like there was no tomorrow. Marlowe's exact words "I love these, Mom. I even like the sauce!" Ha!
Mix together the oil, lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, and spices together, and stir until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs inside a ziplock bag and add the marinade on top, shaking it gently until the chicken is fully coated. Seal it shut and refridgerate for anywhere between 30 minutes and overnight.
Turn on your grill and allow it to preheat while you remove the chicken from the fridge. Once the grill is piping hot, add your chicken using tongs and cook on one side for about 7-8 minutes.
Next, flip and cook the other side for another 7-8 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
Assemble your tacos, serve, and enjoy!
