Grilled Chicken

- Pour marinade over chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. 4 - 5 hours is ideal.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush grill with oil to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill. Cook for approximately 5 - 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees. Cut into pieces.
Street Corn
- Cook corn and place corn kernels in a bowl.
- Stir in mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, and green onions.
Assembling tacos
- If using corn tortillas, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet. Place corn tortillas one-by-one in a skillet and soften in the oil for a few seconds. Remove and let drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Top with chicken, street corn, fresh avocado slices, and sprinkle with cotija cheese and cilantro.
