Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken thighs
  • 12 pcs Corn tortillas
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • 2 pcs Lime
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and lime juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    💡 For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Grill or pan-fry chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.

    💡 Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing for juicier meat.

  3. 3

    Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable and slightly charred.

    💡 Charred tortillas add authentic flavor and smokiness.

  4. 4

    Dice chicken, dice onion, and chop cilantro. Assemble tacos with all toppings.

    💡 Fresh lime wedges on the side allow guests to adjust to their taste.

  5. 5

    Add liquids and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

    💡 Low and slow yields tender results.

  6. 6

    Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
