Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chicken

Trim excess fat from chicken thighs. Pat dry with paper towels.

2
Prepare the marinade

Cut the lime in half and squeeze to extract juice. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and all spices. Whisk until well combined.

3
Marinate the chicken

Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken. Massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

4
Prepare the yogurt sauce

Cut the lime in half and squeeze to extract juice. Peel and mince the garlic clove. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.

5
Prepare the vegetables

Peel the onion. Dice half the onion finely for topping. Slice the other half into thin strips for grilling.

6
Prepare the tomatoes

Wash thoroughly. Dice into small cubes.

7
Prepare the avocado

Cut in half and remove pit. Scoop out flesh. Dice into small cubes.

8
Prepare the jalapeño

9
Prepare the lettuce

Wash thoroughly. Chop or shred finely.

10
Prepare the cilantro

Wash thoroughly. Remove stems. Chop leaves roughly.

11
Prepare the radishes

Wash thoroughly. Trim ends. Slice thinly.

12
Grill the chicken

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, discarding excess marinade. Brush grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

13
Grill the onions

Place sliced onions on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until softened and slightly charred. Remove from grill.

14
Warm the tortillas

Place tortillas on the grill for 20-30 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred. Alternatively, warm in a dry skillet over medium heat. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.

15
Slice the chicken

Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips across the grain.

16
Prepare the lime wedges

Cut the lime into 8 wedges for serving.
