Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Slice: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into strips.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken in the warm tortillas and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
