Description
Vibrant Mexican street tacos featuring tender grilled chicken, warm tortillas, and zesty toppings like lime, onions, and salsa. A quick, flavorful dish perfect for casual meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
400g chicken breast halves (or boneless thighs)
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 medium shredded yellow onion
8 corn or flour tortillas
1 cup tomato salsa
2 tbsp cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Whisk avocado oil, oregano, lime juice, and salt. Add chicken, coat evenly, and refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
Preheat grill to 375°F (190°C). Cook chicken 5-6 minutes per side until 165°F (74°C) internal temperature is reached.
Heat tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds per side. Wrap in a warm towel to keep soft.
Halve cooked chicken. Layer shredded onions, salsa, and cilantro onto tortillas. Add extra lime if desired.
Notes
Cut chicken against the grain for tenderness. Substitute Mexican oregano for authentic flavor. Use corn tortillas for traditional texture; flour for softness. Adjust salsa spiciness to preference.
