Grilled Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
- 3 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 12 corn tortillas, warmed
- Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, jarred salsa verde and chopped avocados, onions, tomatoes and cilantro, for serving
Steps
- Puree the medium tomatoes with the lime juice, water, and salt in a blender. Transfer the puree to a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken thighs. Seal the bag, pressing out the air. Refrigerate the chicken for 6 hours or overnight.
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and pat them dry. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with the paprika and parsley. Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a work surface and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Cut the chicken thighs into strips and serve with the warmed tortillas, cheese, salsa verde, avocados, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro.
