Smoky Chicken Street Tacos

These are ridiculous!

If you want a bit of smoky flavor add 40 oz of any kind of red enchilada sauce you want to a smoker. 350 for an hour. You could also smoke it a lot slower for more smoke flavor, but I find that it can be a bit too much smoke for a taco.


6 chicken thighs and 2 chicken breast cubes. Put in 2 Tbsp of oil and whatever taco seasoning you like. I used Blackstone’s street taco seasoning. Let it marinate while your sauce is heating on the smoker.

Prep your garnish—really whatever you want. I went with 1/2 a yellow onion diced, some chopped fresh cilantro, 1 Tbsp avacado oil, zest and juice of 1/2 a lime, and a little salt/pepper.

Cook the chicken through and add it to your sauce.

I use 2 corn tortillas for street tacos—dip them in the sauce and let them heat on a pan or griddle. Once they are firming up add your cheese—however much you like. Then add your chicken right out of the pan.

I prefer a taco rack to shape the tacos, and it also makes it easier to put your garnish on. Add the cilantro mix. I added some Mexican-style cream and cilantro-lime to mine.

Serve hot and enjoy!
