Taco nights are perhaps the most fun dinners and these chicken street tacos are forever a family favorite. The flavorful seasoning is inspired by the delicious flavors of the world-famous street food of Mexico. I’ve eaten several versions of this taco in Mexico and in the U.S and each a little different, so this recipe is by no means authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A punchy citrus-chili-garlic-cumin-oregano marinade makes boneless skinless chicken thighs tender, juicy and flavorful before being grilled until delightfully smoky on the outside and perfectly tender and juicy on the inside. Then the finished chicken nestles in a crunchy, quick cabbage slaw and a creamy avocado crema that takes the chicken street tacos from an ordinary weeknight meal to extraordinary restaurant quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVOCADO LIME CREMA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Crema is a basically thick cream something similar to sour cream. The traditional Mexican recipe includes heavy cream, buttermilk, lime juice, and salt which is then left to thicken at room temperature for several hours. However, there are many versions of crema with a base of sour cream and other flavors added like garlic and spices. For our recipe we swapped the cream, sour, cream with creamy ripe avocado, greek yogurt, garlic, jalape\u00f1o, salt and lime juice. The result is a creamy, thick, zesty sauce that beautifully compliments our tacos with some healthier ingredients. Simply blend until well-combined and then allow to rest in the fridge while you prepare the remainder of dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Pollo Asada Street Tacos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Marinate the chicken<\/strong> and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes or unto one day in the fridge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Roast or Skillet Grill: our preferred method to cook the marinated chicken is to <\/strong>oven-roast or skillet grill method. The chicken cooks evenly, with those lovely grill marks and a little smokiness. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Blend the Avocado Crema:<\/strong> while the chicken cooks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Make the slaw<\/strong>: Combine red cabbage, green cabbage, red onion, lime juice\/vinegar and salt. Set aside for the slaw to mellow. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Slice the chicken<\/strong>: slice the chicken into thin strips or into bite sized-pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Assemble the Chicken Tacos<\/strong>: we like to place everything in bowls like an assembly like and let everyone DIY!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Enjoy!!!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
