Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baja Grilled Chicken Tacos Delight.
Step 1
To start your culinary adventure, grab a large bowl and mix together cumin, dried Mexican oregano, sazón seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Give it a good stir to blend those vibrant flavors.
Step 3
Next, add fresh lime juice and a splash of olive oil to your spice blend, stirring until everything is beautifully combined into a zesty marinade.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to introduce the chicken thighs to this flavorful concoction.
Step 5
Make sure each piece is generously coated, then cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or if you have the time, up to 12 hours for an explosion of flavor.
Step 6
When you’re ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep things from sticking.
Step 7
Take the marinated chicken out of the fridge and place it on the grill.
Step 8
Cook for about 8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is perfectly cooked through and the juices run clear.
Step 9
Once done, transfer the grilled chicken to a bowl and shred it using two forks—this is where the magic happens! Now, let’s warm up those corn tortillas.
Step 10
Lightly spray them with canola oil and grill for about 45 seconds on each side until they’re warm and have a lovely char.
Step 11
Keep them cozy by transferring the tortillas to a plate and covering them with a paper towel.
Step 12
Finally, it’s time to assemble your Baja Grilled Chicken Tacos! Fill the warm tortillas with the shredded chicken, and savor every delicious bite.
Step 13
Enjoy your culinary creation!.
