Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

  3. 3

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred.

  4. 4

    Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until pliable.

  6. 6

    Fill each tortilla with chopped chicken, then top with diced onion, cilantro, salsa or pico de gallo, and queso fresco if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
