Grilled Chicken Tacos are perfect for a fast, friendly, choose-your-own-adventure meal. Our classic taco seasoning blend makes a mean marinade for tender, juicy grilled chicken thighs - just give yourself at least 2 hours for the magic to soak in. Layer onto fresh corn tortillas with tomato, avocado, cheese, and more!
Combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, coriander, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a 1-cup measuring cup. Whisk until smooth.
Place the chicken in a casserole dish. Pour the marinade over and work into the chicken using your (clean) hands. Cover with cling wrap and place in the fridge. Marinate 2-12 hours, ideally flipping once halfway through.
Light a charcoal or gas grill to high heat (450°F).
Using tongs, remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place on the grill. Grill 5-6 minutes per side with the lid open, flipping once, or until the internal temperature registers 165°F using an instant read thermometer.
Remove the chicken from the grill, place on a cutting board, and rest 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas. Place the tortillas on the hot grill in an even layer. Grill 10-15 seconds per side, until the light char marks appear and the tortillas are soft and pliable.
Dice the chicken into bite sized pieces, or slice into half-inch strips against the grain. Season with lime juice using the lime wedges, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Stuff the grilled chicken into tortillas with toppings of choice. Enjoy!
