Serves 4 to 6

Marinating the chicken overnight takes the flavor of this authentically inspired recipe to a new level.

Ingredients

  • 1 package boneless skinless Smart Chicken thighs

  • ½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped

  • 1 small yellow onion, half sliced and half diced small

  • 1 jalapeño, sliced

  • 1 (12-ounce) light beer

  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 package corn tortillas

  • 1 jar salsa

  • 1 lime, sliced

Directions

In a bowl, combine the chicken, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, beer, salt, and pepper. Cover and marinate overnight. When ready to cook, preheat the grill. Grill the chicken thighs until golden-brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the chicken rest for about 5 to 10 minutes. Roughly chop the chicken and grill the tortillas until soft, then wrap in foil. Assemble the tortilla with chicken, onion, and cilantro, and top with salsa, then garnish with lime.
