Grilled Chicken Tacos
We love taco Tuesdays in my house, and I’m not talking about the tacos that come in a kit! Instead, I make all kinds of tacos from scratch, from fish tacos and slow cooker chicken tacos and even turkey taco lettuce wraps. These grilled chicken tacos are light and fresh, perfect for summer grilling or to make on a grill pan.
These grilled chicken tacos are a wonderful addition to our taco rotation. They’re perfect for grilling outside now that the weather is so warm. They’re very simple to make, so I like to cook them if I’m short on time. I set all the fixings out on the table and let everyone make their own. They’re a definite crowd-pleaser.
Lettuce Slaw:
I love a simple lettuce slaw on these grilled chicken tacos. It basically a salad mixed together for one tasty topping. Below is what I put in my lettuce slaw:
Veggies: Lettuce, tomato, red onion Sauce: Lime juice, olive oil Seasoning: Cilantro, salt, pepper
Variations and Tips:
If you don’t want to buy seasoned salt, you can use a mix of salt, chili powder, paprika, red pepper, and garlic powder to season the chicken. If you’d prefer a spicier dish, add sliced jalapeno or serrano pepper to the slaw. Swap lettuce for cabbage. If you can’t find cotija, sub it with feta. If you prefer to skip the tortillas, just turn this dish into a big salad. You can also use low-carb or whole wheat tortillas instead of corn. Double or triple this taco recipe if you want to feed a crowd. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, no worries! A grill pan or skillet will also work.
