For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using wood chips, such as mesquite or hickory, in your grill. Adjust the amount of chili powder and hot sauce according to your spice preference. Feel free to add other toppings like diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of sour cream.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 hrs
In a gallon-size resealable bag, combine chicken, lime juice, vegetable oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag, ensuring even coating of the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. (Time: 1-2 hours)
02
Step
5 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, then lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
14 mins
Remove chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Discard the marinade. Grill the chicken over direct heat until the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center registers at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side. (Time: 12-16 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Transfer the grilled chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping it into small, bite-sized pieces. Keep warm. (Time: 5 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Place the tortillas on the hot grill, stacked two tortillas thick, and heat for about 20 to 30 seconds per side until softened and slightly charred. (Time: 20-30 seconds per side)
06
Step
5 mins
Divide the chopped chicken evenly among the 12 stacks of tortillas. Top with minced white onion and cilantro. Drizzle with Mexican hot sauce, if desired, for an extra kick. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing. (Time: 5 minutes)
