Summertime Chicken Tacos image

Try these tempting tacos when you're looking for a change of pace from regular tacos. A mild zing from the lime juice in the chicken taco marinade comes through after grilling. I like to serve them with salsa, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. -Susan Scott, Asheville, North Carolina

So easy and flavorful! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they turned out perfectly. The marinade was simple but packed with flavor. I served these tacos with all the fixings and everyone loved them.
