This Tajin Chicken Recipe brings together the zest of lime, the warmth of chili, and the unique kick of Tajin seasoning, creating a delightful dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
3 tablespoons of Tajin seasoning
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Juice of 2 limes
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of honey (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro (for topping)
Diced avocados (for topping)
Sliced radishes (for topping)
Crumbled queso fresco (for topping)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the Tajin seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and honey (if using). Mix well until fully blended.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve it on warm tortillas or over a bed of rice. Top with fresh cilantro, diced avocado, sliced radishes, and crumbled queso fresco.
