Ingredients

  • 1 pound pollo para asar (seasoned, boneless, skinless chicken

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

  • 8 corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink at the center, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer, inserted near the center, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  3. Heat corn tortillas until soft and pliable in the microwave, about 1 minute. Top with chicken, onions, and cilantro.
