Easy Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos Recipe

These tacos are what I’m looking forward to making the most of after we’ve moved and settled in our new place. I’ve cooked these things so many times that I can’t remember how many times.

My favorite dish to offer at a party or supper is a grilled cheese sandwich. They’re also a better choice for dinner because of their lower calorie count.

Besides the fact that they taste fantastic, you’ll enjoy this recipe for Easy Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos since it’s simple to put together and the marinating can be done ahead of time.

You may even serve them with carne asada tacos if you’d want to go all out (just slice strips into small pieces). I adore all three kinds of tacos when I eat them in restaurants or on the street in Mexico, so one day I’ll feel bold and prepare them all at once (chicken, carne asada, and carnitas).

Ingredients That You’ll Need:

There are only a handful of materials needed to make these Easy Buffalo Wild Wing Street Tacos. I’m confident you already have most of the spices on this list, so you don’t need to buy any more.

Boneless skinless chicken thighs: The thighs are the nicest part of this. However, if you like breasts, they will work, but keep an eye on the temperature since they dry out more quickly. Cook until the center reaches 165 degrees.
Limes: Lemons can be used as a replacement if you’re short on time.
Olive oil: You may also use vegetable oil as a substitute.
Garlic: The finest taste comes from using fresh garlic, however, granulated garlic can be replaced with 1 tsp if needed.
Ground cumin: While there isn’t a great substitute for this ingredient you could use other Mexican-style spices if you are out such as coriander and paprika.
Ancho chili powder: Ancho chili powder has a deep taste that I prefer, but regular chili powder would work just as well.
Cilantro: To my surprise, the cilantro was previously omitted from this recipe for Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos, but it makes a huge difference. Fresh is always preferable to dry because dried foods lack taste.
Salt and pepper: It’s up to you! I prefer the marinade to be a little salty.
Onion and avocado: There are many different options for toppings.

Additional Topping Ideas

Tacos paired with onion, cilantro, lime, radishes, and Mexican spicy sauce are called Homemade Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos. However, you are free to arrange them how you see fit. Other possibilities for garnishing include:.

Diced tomatoes
Salsa or pico de gallo
Shredded lettuce or cabbage
Mexican cheese such as queso fresco, cotija, or Monterey jack cheese
Mexican crema or sour cream
Guacamole
Grilled corn
Sliced Jalapeno
Sauteed bell peppers

Tip: If you’re going to use any of these additional toppings, I recommend going with normal or even bigger tortillas rather than the street size. There aren’t many toppings that can fit in those little tortillas.

Is It Possible To Bake The Chicken Instead?

Yes, you may cook the chicken in the oven instead of on the barbecue. 30 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit on a flat baking sheet (or until cooked through and crisp on the edges).

How Can You Tell When The Chicken Is Done?

When the inside of the chicken is no longer pink and the center registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, you know the chicken is done cooking. You may also use a knife to pierce the chicken to see if the fluids are clear.

How To Make Buffalo Wild Wings Street Tacos

Fill a gallon resealable bag halfway with chicken. In a small mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin chili powder, cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
Pour the liquid over the chicken in the bag, then close it while releasing the trapped air. Rub the marinade over the chicken. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours to marinate.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (it should come to 425 – 450 degrees).
Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through, about 5 – 6 minutes on each side, rotating once halfway through (thickest center should register 165 and thighs should be slightly charred).
Transfer to a platter, cover with foil and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Grilled chicken should be diced into cubes. Sprinkle 1 or 2 tortillas per taco with chicken, then top with an avocado slice, sliced chicken, onions, and cilantro.
Serve each taco warm, spritzed with lime juice, and drizzled with spicy sauce.

Recipe Tips

Allow at least an hour for marinating, otherwise, the chicken won’t have time to soak up the flavor.
Grill them over high heat and allow them to get a little charred. They get a nice crunch and a terrific taste from it!
Keep your focus on the thighs during this exercise. There is more juice, more taste, and better browning on the chicken thighs. This dish is a hit even with those who aren’t fans of chicken thighs in general. I frequently prepare these for visitors.
