Super quick marinade, big, bright flavor, grill marks!? Yes, please!<\/p>\n<p>We love these cilantro and lime chicken tacos for so many reasons, not the least of which is that the marinating time is super short\u2013just 30 minutes! But thanks to the lime and perfect combo of seasonings, the flavor is bright and vibrant. This chicken tastes like it marinated all day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We love to make cilantro lime chicken tacos as one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/campfire-recipes\/\">campfire meals<\/a> when we\u2019re out camping, but we make them just as often at home, too.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also super easy to scale up for when you\u2019re feeding a group. But whether you\u2019re making them for two or 20, these grilled chicken tacos are one of those super-simple, low-stress dinners that everyone loves.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chicken<\/strong>: We like to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for these tacos\u2014the extra fat makes such tender, juicy pieces of grilled chicken. But you can use chicken breasts if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro<\/strong>: Just a small handful, chopped, is all you\u2019ll need for the marinade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limes<\/strong>: You\u2019ll use both the zest and juice from two limes. When zesting your limes, be sure to avoid the pith, or white part, which can be bitter. Stick to only the green outer layer of the rind.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: A teaspoon for the marinade, and another pinch or two for sprinkling over the grilled chicken once you\u2019ve sliced it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chili powder<\/strong>: Use mild or spicy chili powder, depending on your heat preference.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cumin<\/strong>: Ground cumin adds smoky, earthy flavor.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic powder<\/strong>: An easy way to add garlic flavor without having to peel and dice fresh garlic.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ground coriander<\/strong>: Coriander seeds are part of the cilantro plant. We love the boost of bright flavor it adds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil: <\/strong>Oil in the marinade both makes the chicken juicy and helps the flavors better permeate the chicken.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tortillas<\/strong>: Use either street-taco-size flour tortillas or corn tortillas, whichever you prefer.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toppings<\/strong>: Pico de gallo, salsa, cilantro, crumbled Cotija cheese, and an extra squeeze of lime are all great! But grab whatever taco toppings you love\u2014the sky\u2019s the limit.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/cilantro-lime-grilled-chicken-tacos\/?tp_image_id=11468\" data-pin-description=\"Grilled Chicken Tacos with a zesty cilantro lime marinade are an easy grilling recipe for summer.

Juice and zest your limes into a small bowl, then add the olive oil, spices\/seasonings, and salt. Mix it together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Place the chicken into an airtight container or sealable bag, pour the marinade over the top, and mix\/shake to make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no more than two hours (place the chicken in the fridge or your cooler if you\u2019ll marinate for longer than an hour).<\/p>\n<p><!-- [element-24179] -->        <\/p>\n<p><!-- [\/element-24179] --><\/p>\n<p>Next, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/how-to-build-a-campfire\">prepare your campfire<\/a> or grill. Place the marinated chicken on the grill grate over direct heat. Resist turning the chicken too soon; you want to leave it in position until a light char forms. Making sure it has cooked enough before attempting to turn it will also help it to release easier from the grill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once one side is blackened to your liking, flip, repeat, and then move the chicken to indirect heat to finish cooking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the meat is done cooking, pull it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the chicken rests, warm your tortillas by grilling them for one or two minutes on both sides until warmed through.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next, it\u2019s time to thinly slice your chicken. If you can identify the grain, slice against it. If not, don\u2019t worry about it! Then sprinkle a little bit of salt over the slices for a boost of flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to assemble your tacos! Lay a couple of chicken pieces in each warmed tortilla and pile on your favorite toppings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/cilantro-lime-grilled-chicken-tacos\/?tp_image_id=11470\" data-pin-description=\"Grilled Chicken Tacos with a zesty cilantro lime marinade are an easy grilling recipe for summer.

To be honest, we sometimes have a hard time remembering to do this, so we bring hardwood lump charcoal as insurance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare your toppings while the chicken marinates.<\/strong> Then, once the chicken is done cooking and resting and your tortillas are warm, you get right to enjoying your tacos!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tips for being able to tell when the chicken is done:<\/strong> If you happen to have a meat thermometer with you, insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat. If it reads 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C), it\u2019s done. Other ways to tell when the chicken is done is to press the chicken with your tongs. If it\u2019s not cooked all the way, it will feel squishy. Then, once the meat firms up, take it off the grill and slice it in half to ensure it\u2019s cooked through (the chicken will no longer be pink).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resting is important. Don\u2019t skip it! <\/strong>After you pull the chicken off the grill, let it rest for five minutes. This helps the chicken reabsorb the juices for the most moist and juicy pieces.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make-Ahead Tip<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mix the marinade ahead of time. <\/strong>But don\u2019t add the chicken yet! Keep the marinade in your fridge or your cooler, then wait until you\u2019re within two hours of cooking your tacos before adding the chicken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Serve it with\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With vibrant veggies and spicy jalape\u00f1o, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/corn-salad\/\">grilled corn salad recipe<\/a> is a fresh side that pairs perfectly with these grilled chicken tacos.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Spoon some homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshoffthegrid.com\/fire-roasted-salsa\/\">fire-roasted salsa<\/a> over the top for even more flavor!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-description=\"Grilled Chicken Tacos with a zesty cilantro lime marinade are an easy grilling recipe for summer.
