Serves: 12 tacos
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups chopped cilantro
- 1 cup minced onion
- 4-6 chicken thighs, skirt steak or meat of your choice
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp. veggie oil
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
Instructions
- Heat up a grill pan and drizzle a bit of oil on top.
- Chop the meat into strips, salt, and rub with garlic.
- Add the meat to the pan.
- Leave it alone for a few minutes before flipping.
- The goal is to crisp the meat a bit.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 45 seconds (stacked and wrapped in a paper towel).
- Arrange the tortillas on a platter, fill with the meat, onion, and cilantro.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Cheese and salsa garnish is optional. If you can find fresh corn tortillas, this recipe will be even more delicious! If you'd rather make 6 larger tacos, double up on the tortillas (still using 12 total).
