Pollo Asado tacos are bursting with juicy, marinated chicken and bright citrus flavor. Each bite is nestled in warm tortillas and topped with fresh salsa, avocado, and a burst of zesty lime.

what is pollo asado?

Pollo asado is Spanish for grilled chicken or roast chicken. Otherwise known as mouth watering!!

ingredients

boneless skinless chicken thighs minced garlic spices - paprika - salt -  onion powder - dried oregano - chili powder - cumin - citrus juice - orange juice - lime juice – olive oil

prep

Allow the chicken to sit in the marinade in the fridge for 2-4 hours, turning once during the process.

cook

grill or cook on the stovetop until the chicken comes to an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest, then cut into pieces.

serve

These tacos taste perfect on some warm tortillas - I like corn tortillas but flour tortillas are amazing too! Serve alongside pico de gallo with lime wedges and maybe some Mexican pickled onions.

Tip: Place a stack of them on a plate and cover with a barely damp paper towel. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Serve and enjoy!
