Instructions
Step 1 — Fire Up & Drop the Chicken
First things first — get a hot and oiled griddle. Lay down a nice layer of cooking oil and spread it out for an even sear. Down goes the star of the show: chicken breasts that have been soaking in a zesty lime marinade. Listen to that sizzle! Let them sit and develop a gorgeous crust.
Step 2 — Caramelize the Limes
While the chicken is doing its thing, take halved limes and place them cut-side down right on the flat top. Grilling your limes caramelizes the natural sugars and gives the juice this amazing smoky, sweet flavor. It's a total game changer.
Step 3 — Flip & Chop the Chicken
Give the chicken a flip. Look at that perfect golden-brown sear — that's exactly what you're looking for. Once it's cooked most of the way through, take your spatulas and chop it up right on the Blackstone. Breaking it down into bite-sized pieces means every single edge gets a little bit of that delicious griddle char.
Step 4 — Finish with the Grilled Lime
Grab one of those hot, grilled limes and squeeze that warm, smoky juice right over the top of the meat. Give it a quick toss to soak up all that flavor, then move it off the heat and onto a tray. Before building tacos, give the griddle a quick scrape down so you have a clean surface for your tortillas.
Step 5 — Warm the Tortillas
You always want to warm your tortillas. Just a few seconds on the griddle makes them soft and pliable.
Step 6 — Build the Tacos
Start with a generous scoop of the lime-marinated chicken. Add a pinch of fresh, crunchy slaw from the street corn kit for texture. Then a healthy sprinkle of crumbled Cotija cheese for that salty kick. And here's the secret weapon: a big spoonful of bright, sweet Pineapple Mango Salsa. Finally, hit it with one last squeeze of fresh lime juice.
