BAJA GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS
I modified this taco recipe for a party of 40, and it was a huge hit. Thighs are a good substitute for chicken breasts, especially with marinating and grilling. They do not dry out as quickly and are very forgiving. Fill warm tortillas with sauteed chicken and serve with your choice of garnishes and black bean and corn salad.

- The chicken cooks quickly. Prepare the sauce and sides first. Add the corn to the grill first; it takes the longest, about 10 to 12 minutes. After it’s on the grill for about 4 minutes, add the chicken. In the meantime, as the corn and chicken cooks, prepare the tortillas by adding them to the grill where space is available. Heat until soft and lightly charred in areas and then remove them to a clean towel folded in multiple layers (to retain the heat and keep them soft.) As the chicken rests, cut the corn off the cob.
- If using thighs, trim. For breasts, cut in half horizontally. For both, if needed, lightly pound to an even thickness. Place in a Ziploc bag. In a small bowl, mix together the oil, vinegar, lime juice and zest, the achiote paste (or substitute) the garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and cloves. Pour over chicken and marinate, the longer the better. A minimum of 1 hour is recommended, overnight is better and two days is optimum.
- Prepare and remove husks and silk. Brush with oil. Add to grill, and turn often, until warmed through, slightly softened and colored in areas. Remove and sprinkle with salt and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with a little cayenne.
- Add to the grill and grill, turning once, until softened and slightly charred in spots. Remove to clean towel. Depending on the size of grill, you may need to grill one or two at a time.
