These Grilled Chicken Tacos are so special to me. On my last visit to Guadalajara, I visited this small and quaint little restaurant in the city. It's a quiet and small restaurant, in the interior part of the city and is never crowded.

So, there it was getting late at night and we had to grab a bite before we head back to our Hotel. So, hungry as a wolf, we went into this place and it just changed my opinion about Spicy Grilled Chicken Tacos forever!

The head chef there was so good. He offered me to watch him make these Tacos. And he made this in the Sheet Pan. Just quickly threw everything in the Sheet pan, grilled them, and then served! It was so so so delicious! I still cannot forget that taste!

A Perfect Summer Dinner Recipe

I like Summers. The hot weather, the scorching Sun screaming outside, the sultry noons, and the cozy evenings. It's so much fun, light, easy and lazy!

It's exactly this time of the year, which I have been waiting for. I just love to make Summer recipes! Especially Grilled Chicken Recipes are so much fun. Also, I strongly believe that Grilling is better than baking because the flavors in a Grilled Chicken are absolutely unmatched by anything else.

Coming back to these Grilled Chicken Tacos. These are the perfect Tuesday night dinner recipe which your kids are going to love for sure. This is a little spicy but when you serve it with some Ranch dressing, it mellows down the heat, and kids do not find it spicy at all.

In my house, my husband just hates spicy food. Like he's seriously allergic to spicy food. Even a bit of spice gets him all anxious and buzzed. So, I generally avoid spicy food.

But this recipe calls for Serrano Pepper and so I have used it. But the use of Lime and Ranch dressing just makes the spice amount negligible. In fact, my husband loved these Grilled Chicken Tacos!

The Cilantro Lime Marinade

This Cilantro lime Marinade is everything you will love about these Grilled Chicken Tacos! Seriously, that piquant aroma, that zesty and spicy taste, and that refreshing hint of Cilantro and Lime in every bite! It's seriously something which you're going to LOVE for sure!

The Grilled Taste

On my last visit to Mexico, I came across this small restaurant in Guadalajara. This small and quaint restaurant in a very interior part of the city were serving some grilled Chicken Tacos. So, the chef was so good, he allowed me to take a look at how he was actually making these Tacos and it was a treat!

He made these Grilled Chicken Tacos in the Sheet Pan. and He grilled the Lime Wedges, Garlic, Serrano, and Onions all along with the Chicken. And then he pulses these in the food processor with some water to make the Marinade!

It was so delicious and since then, we have been ardent am of this Grilled Chicken Tacos recipe.

So, it's this grilled taste in the Lime and the Onions and of course the Garlic, which you will feel in every bite of these Tacos. It will be having that deep charred taste and that's exactly the best part about this recipe.
