Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Let rest before slicing.
Prepare Tortillas: Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble Tacos: Slice chicken into strips and place on tortillas. Top with chopped onions and cilantro; squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
Serve: Enjoy your tacos with lime wedges and additional toppings as desired.
