Pollo Asado Tacos

Ingredients

• 1½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• ½ cup orange juice
• ¼ cup lime juice
• 1 tbsp achiote paste
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 12 corn tortillas
• ½ red onion (optional)
• ¼ cup cilantro (optional)
• 1 avocado (optional)
• ½ cup salsa (optional)

Steps

1. Mince garlic. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, achiote paste, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place chicken thighs in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure chicken is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
4. Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
5. Thinly slice red onion and chop cilantro, if using.
6. Assemble tacos by filling warm tortillas with chopped pollo asado. Top with red onion, cilantro, avocado, and salsa as desired.
