Ingredients
- 12 ounces Mexican beer ((such as Corona or Modelo))
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
- 1 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 32 ounces boneless and skinless chicken thighs ((rinsed and patted dry))
- 8 taco-sized flour or corn tortillas
- cheese, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, salsa (as desired)
Steps
-
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the chicken thighs in a large plastic zip baggie and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
-
Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken thighs over direct medium heat until the meat is firm and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cut the chicken into thin strips.
-
Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Pile the sliced chicken inside the tortillas. Top each taco with desired fixings.
