These chicken tacos are made with thighs, which are more flavorful than chicken breasts; plus, they’re less expensive. Put them to work in any fast weeknight preparation, starting with these spiced tacos.

  • 1 medium onion, cut into wedges, keeping root intact
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds, coarsely crushed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed (for serving)
  • 2 avocados, sliced (for serving)
  • Cilantro sprigs, sliced radishes, and lime wedges (for serving)

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Toss onion, garlic, chicken, cumin, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Grill onion and chicken until cooked through and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side.

  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with tortillas, avocados, Charred Tomatillo Salsa Verde, cilantro, radishes, and lime wedges.
