Beer- Marinated Chicken Tacos

 

 

Terrific...
 

 

 

MARINADE:

 

1 cup 

 

dark Mexican beer, such as Negra Modelo

 

2 Tbs 

 

dark sesame oil

 

1 Tbs 

 

finely chopped garlic

 

1 tsp 

 

dried oregano

 

1 tsp 

 

kosher salt

 

½ tsp 

 

freshly ground black pepper

 

¼ tsp 

 

cayenne pepper
 

 

 

 

CHICKEN:

 

6 boneless 

 

skinless chicken thighs, about 4 ounces each (rinsed and patted dry)
 

 

 

 

GUACAMOLE:

 

2 medium 

 

ripe Haas avocados

 

1 Tbs 

 

fresh lime juice

 

¼ tsp 

 

kosher salt

 

 

 

WRAP:

 

6 6 to 7-inch 

 

flour or corn tortillas

 

 

1

Prepare marinade: Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl.

2

Place chicken thighs in a large plastic resealable bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

3

Prepare guacamole: Cut avocados lengthwise around the pits, twist the halves apart, and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add lime juice and salt. Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the ingredients together. Cover with plastic wrap, placing it directly on the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate until about 1 hour before serving.

4

Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Grill chicken thighs over direct medium heat until the meat is firm and juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cut the thighs into thin strips.

5

Warm tortillas over direct medium heat for about 1 minute, turning once halfway through grilling time. Pile the sliced chicken inside the tortillas. Top each taco with a spoonful of guacamole. Serve warm.
