Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken Tacos

 

Marinade Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 lbs)

2 Tbsp Lime juice

2 Tbsp Tequila

4 Tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup cilantro

Optional toppings

Avocado, chopped

Black beans

Tortillas

Lime slices

Olives

Lettuce

Salsa

Sour Cream

Cheese

Tortilla chips

Directions

1. Put all marinade ingredients except chicken into a small bowl and blend thoroughly with a stick blender.

Place the chicken and blended marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Cover and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.

2. Preheat the grill on high heat. Place the chicken on the grill and turn heat to medium low. After about 3 minutes or when the internal temperature reaches 110°F, flip the chicken. After 3-4 minutes check the internal temperature and if more cooking is needed, flip again. I use this digital thermometer. Check the chicken every couple minutes until internal temperature is at 165°F. 

3. Slice the chicken and serve in tacos.
