This is one of those recipes that screams summertime to our family.
It's easy. It doesn't require turning on an oven. Tasty enough for company, but simple enough for a weeknight.
Did I mention YUMMY????
The best part though? Grilling is my husband's job. So I feel as though I get a night off!
Grilling and taking out the trash. I'm sure we had that in the vows somewhere.
But I digress. Here's the recipe for the marinade:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice (I often just use lemon juice)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
1tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
(I use 1-2 lbs of boneless chicken breasts)
Marinate chicken in marinade for at least 8 hours. Grill. Cut chicken in strips.
You can assemble the soft tacos however you prefer. I usually grill some peppers and onions to put in the tacos, and have shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and salsa as other options.
Many times I serve these with a side of rice (yes from a box, and if I'm pressed for time I eliminate this side) , caesar salad, fresh fruit, ice cream and lemonade.
An easy summer meal without much effort!
Our family loves this recipe! I hope you enjoy it also!
