How to cook deliciously - Spicy Grilled Chicken Tacos

1. Stage

Prepare the grill: Prepare either a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high, direct heat.

2. Stage

Make the marinade and coat the chicken: In a large bowl, stir together the chili powder, oregano, cumin, sugar, salt, garlic and orange zest. Stir in the orange juice and olive oil to make a loose paste. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat all over. Set aside to marinate while the grill heats and you prepare the rest of the toppings.

3. Stage

Grill the chicken: Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F. Transfer to a plate and rest for 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Thin the sour cream with milk: Stir together the sour cream and milk to thin out the sour cream to make it easy to drizzle.

5. Stage

Assemble the tacos: Slice the chicken into strips. On each tortilla, place a small handful of arugula. Top with chicken slices, sliced avocado, radishes, tomatoes, and onion slices. Drizzle with the thinned sour cream. Serve with lime wedges.

6. Stage

Warm the tortillas: Place each tortilla on the grill or on a hot, dry skillet over medium-high heat. As soon as you see pockets of the air start to puff up in the tortilla, turn it with tongs and heat for a few seconds on the other side. Wrap warmed tortillas in a tea towel to keep them warm until serving.
