Mexican Grilled Chicken Pollo Asado Tacos



With marinated and grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and tangy citrus notes, these Mexican Grilled Chicken Pollo Asado Tacos are a flavor explosion. Great for a holiday meal!

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

Add fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to a bowl

This is how you make the marinade

Put the chicken breasts in a plastic bag that can be closed again and again, and pour the marinade over them

Put the bag in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for the best taste

Set your grill to medium-high heat and oil it with olive oil so that food doesn't stick

While the chicken is still wet, put it on the grill for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until it's fully cooked and has nice grill marks

Check to see if the temperature inside reaches 74F 165C

To make the corn tortillas soft, heat them on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side while the chicken cooks

Just take the chicken off the grill when it's done and let it rest for a while

Cut it into thin strips after that

Put a few pieces of grilled chicken on each warm tortilla to make the tacos

Put chopped tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, cilantro leaves, and crumbled queso fresco on top

You can squeeze lime wedges over the top of the Pollo Asado Tacos when you serve them

Have fun!
