Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Mix the oil, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl to make a paste. Pound the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thick. Rub the chicken all over with the chili paste.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until firm to the touch and cooked through, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then shred the meat into bite-size pieces or cut into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill and wrap in a kitchen towel to stay warm.
• Serve the chicken tacos with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or salsa for topping.

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. On 8 (12-inch) skewers, alternately thread chicken, onion and bell pepper. Place skewers on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 11 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are done as desired.
• Place kabobs on large plate; drizzle with reserved lime juice mixture and turn to coat evenly. Slide chicken and vegetables off each skewer onto 1 tortilla; serve with salsa.

JERK CHICKEN SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• Put chicken breasts in a zip-top bag and add jerk paste and 1 tablespoon jerk dry seasoning. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. You can prepare charcoal grill while the chicken marinates.
• While chicken marinates, preheat a charcoal grill to high heat.
• Place chicken on the, "cool," side of the grill and cover. Cook, checking every 5 to 7 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the centers. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes; cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Pour chicken broth into a saucepan. Add diced chicken and remaining jerk dry seasoning. Mix well, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add a little more broth at a time if needed.
• Remove from heat and transfer chicken to tortillas with any toppings you prefer before serving.
