In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, and spices. Toss in the chicken thighs and coat well. Let sit for 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for max flavor). - Grill or Pan-Sear

Let chicken rest 5 minutes, then chop into small taco-sized bites. - Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas directly over a flame or in a dry skillet until pliable and slightly charred. - Assemble & Serve
Double up your corn tortillas, add chicken, top with onions and cilantro, and hit it with a squeeze of lime 🍋. Serve immediately!
✅ Pro Tips

- Prep toppings while the chicken cooks for fast assembly
- Add cotija cheese, pickled onions, or radishes if you’re feeling fancy 😍
