Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with lime wedges on the side.
