Instructions<\/h2>\n

1. Marinate the Chicken:<\/h3>\n

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n

Add the chicken thighs, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.<\/p>\n

2. Prepare the Green Salsa:<\/h3>\n

Preheat your broiler or grill to high.<\/p>\n

Place tomatillos, jalape\u00f1os, onion quarters, and garlic on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. Broil or grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and softened.<\/p>\n

Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adjusting salt to taste. Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

3. Grill the Chicken:<\/h3>\n

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400\u00b0F\/200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165\u00b0F\/74\u00b0C) and slightly charred.<\/p>\n

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n

4. Warm the Tortillas:<\/h3>\n

On the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.<\/p>\n

5. Assemble the Tacos:<\/h3>\n

Place a portion of chopped grilled chicken on each tortilla.<\/p>\n

Top with a spoonful of green salsa, a sprinkle of diced onion, and fresh cilantro.<\/p>\n

Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.<\/p>\n

Serving Suggestion:<\/h2>\n

Serve the tacos hot, with extra green salsa on the side. Pair with Mexican street corn or a simple avocado salad for a complete meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
