Ingredients:

2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tablespoon orange juice (about half an orange)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Taco shells or tortillas, for serving
Fresh cilantro, diced onions, or fresh salsa for topping

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if you’re feelin’ spicy!). Whisk it all together until it’s nice and blended.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but overnight is even better for maximum flavor absorption!
When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the juices run clear. You’ll want that beautiful char on the outside!
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Warm your taco shells or tortillas, then assemble your tacos. Load ’em up with the sliced chicken and top with fresh cilantro, diced onions, or whatever your heart desires!
Enjoy every bite of those flavorful Pollo Asado Chicken Tacos!
