Creating your Chicken Street Tacos is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, and lime juice together.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before shredding it with two forks.
5. Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Place shredded chicken on each tortilla. Top with diced onions and chopped cilantro.
7. Add Sauce: If desired, drizzle with salsa or hot sauce for an extra kick.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Chicken Street Tacos warm and fresh!
By following these steps, you will create an amazing dish that captures the vibrant essence of street food.
