More About This Menu
- To ensure that your tacos are the best they can be, check out our Tortilla Buying Guide.
- The grilled tomato salsa is a great sauce to pair with any of these main courses, but if you want a second option—because the only thing better than salsa is two salsas—try this fresh salsa verde. And let’s not forget guacamole.
- We’re all familiar with Spanish sangria—the Mexican version is a bit boozier, so beware. (And maybe keep a few pitchers of ice water on hand.)
- Before grilling, be sure to let your chicken marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight for a rich, garlicky flavor.
