These easy Oven Roasted Chicken Tacos are the epitome of perfect weeknight dinner! Even though the chicken isn't grilled these are still the some of the best chicken tacos - thanks to that marinade and high oven temperature (a dark pan will help too). Tacos are my favorite and I have the feeling this will be a regular on your dinner menu!
And yes bring on alllll those toppings! I love to load tacos up with the works. I know more traditional Mexican-style chicken taco only use warmed tortillas, the chicken and cilantro, onions and lime.
But why would we stop there? Because we all know tacos are way better with tomatoes or pico, avocado or guacamole, cheese (monterey jack, queso fresco, cotija, etc), radishes, lettuce, sour cream or Mexican cream, and loads of hot sauce. I mean you don't need everything there but I like to add at least 3 of those.
So a few recipes inspired this one, my Grilled Chicken Street Tacos and this Oven Roasted Chicken Shawarma that I shared.
It's a very similar flavor to those street tacos but the method is the same as that shawarma. Because who wants to grill when it's 20 degrees outside?
For this recipe I do recommend using a dark coated baking sheet, it really does help the chicken brown better so you get a bit of a char flavor to it. These are the ones I have that you can buy on Amazon HERE. Read More »
