Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Jose Cuervo Classic Lime Original Margarita Mix
- ¼ cup Tequila optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional ingredients
- 12-16 flour tortillas warmed
- Chopped lettuce
- Chopped tomatoes
- Shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow glass bowl. Add the Maragarita Mix and Tequila, if using. Seal bag getting most of the air out. Squeeze the bag gently just enough to mix the ingredients. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Lightly oil grill grates and preheat grill to medium-high.
- Remove the chicken breast from the marinade and discard the marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for 10-15 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. Coarsely chop the chicken into bite sized pieces.
- For each taco, layer desired amounts of chopped chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use hard or soft, flour or corn tortillas!
