Grilled Chicken Tacos image

Chicken breasts aren't the only cut sold skinless and boneless. Thighs are, too. They're fattier than breasts, which means they're more flavorful; plus, they're less expensive. Put them to work in any fast weeknight preparation, starting with these spiced tacos.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used grilled tofu instead of chicken in this recipe. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. It worked out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken tacos came out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best chicken tacos he's ever had.

The chicken in these tacos is so moist and flavorful. I think the secret is in the marinade.
