BAJA GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS

Baja Grilled Chicken Tacos image

I modified this taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out as quickly and are very forgiving. Fill warm tortillas with sauteed chicken and serve with your choice of garnishes and black bean and corn salad.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro.
Cook the chicken properly: Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as this will make it dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your tacos taste so much better than store-bought tortillas. If you can, make your own tortillas or find a local Mexican restaurant that sells fresh tortillas.
Load up on toppings: The best tacos are loaded with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco. You can also add other toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.
