Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
- 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
- Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
