Grilled Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Yum

June 22, 2015 by Jodi | 1 Comment

 

chipotle chicken tacos

Ugh it’s hot out and it’s only going to get hotter.

I think it’s supposed to get above 100 degrees this week so turning on my oven is probably the last thing I’m going to want to do.  These temps are definitely the time to fire up the grill. One of my favorite parts of summer is grilling.  These Grilled Chipotle Chicken Tacos are so yummy and super duper easy to make.

They were a ginormous (love that word) hit at our house the other night and the sauce was everyone’s favorite part. My younger boys are boring and kind of lame, and only put the cheese and sauce on theirs, but I guess the fact that they dared put the sauce on was a huge step for them.  However, my husband and I loaded ours up with avocados, fresh cilantro and chopped cabbage and they were out of this world.

The chicken is so flavorful and juicy and the sauce is absolutely delicious and gives these tacos a nice smoky kick. The longer you can marinate the chicken the better.  I always marinate mine overnight, but if you forget to make it the night before, just make sure you let it marinate at least 4 hours. A great side dish to serve with these tacos is the Cheesy Black Beans & Rice. . .YUM!
