Tender, juicy grilled chicken topped with fresh pico de gallo and creamy avocado, wrapped in mini corn tortillas—perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 pkg. mini white corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 23 limes, cut into wedges
  • Pico De Gallo
  • 4 Tbsp. orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Sour cream
  • Red onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large Ziplock bag, combine orange juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken to the bag, seal tightly, and shake to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat and grease the grates.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Cook marinated chicken on the grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Rest and Slice: Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Assemble the Tacos: Warm corn tortillas, layer with chicken, and add toppings like pico de gallo, cilantro, lime, and avocado.
  7. Serve immediately, inviting everyone to customize their tacos.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate chicken overnight. You can also use an air fryer or bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
