Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish 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 the marinade and cook for about 6-7 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 on the grill or in a skillet. Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
