Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Make the Glaze: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice the Chicken: Cut the cooked chicken into strips and toss with the glaze.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the tacos and enjoy immediately.
