These chipotle-citrus chicken tacos don't get any easier than marinating chicken breasts and grilling the chicken, then assembling with fresh diced onion and cilantro on top of mini tortillas.

Ingredients

  • 2 limes , juiced
  • 1 orange , juiced
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 24 corns tortilla
  • 1 small onion , diced
  • 0.25 cups chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

  2. 2

    Pour marinade mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts to the bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Place marinated chicken breasts on the grill; close the lid. Discard the marinade. Grill, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Remove chicken from grill. Let stand for 5 minutes; slice into strips.

  6. 6

    Heat tortillas over a griddle on medium heat until tortillas are soft and pliable. Stack tortillas in pairs; divide chicken, onion, and cilantro onto each pair of tortillas.
