Ingredients

  • For the chicken marinade:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Make sure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your Blackstone grill on medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill.
  4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into strips.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Assemble your tacos. Place some grilled chicken on a tortilla, and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado slices. Add cilantro for extra flavor.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty tacos!
  9. Cook Notes and Beginner Tips
  10. If you want a milder flavor, reduce the cayenne pepper in the marinade.
  11. Feel free to add other toppings like cheese or sour cream.
  12. Make sure to let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  13. Experiment with different spices in the marinade for a unique twist.
