Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This grilling method will impart a delicious charred flavor to the meat. Tortilla Selection: Choose soft corn tortillas for an authentic street food experience. You can warm them up by heating them in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side or by placing them directly on a stovetop burner for a quick char. This will make them pliable and enhance their taste. Salsa Variations: Experiment with different salsa flavors other than the one suggested to further elevate your tacos. Classic options like pico de gallo (fresh tomato salsa), salsa verde (green salsa), or salsa roja (red salsa) work great. You can also explore more unique options such as pineapple salsa, corn and black bean salsa, or mango habanero salsa. These variations will add a burst of freshness and complementary flavors to the dish. Toppings and Garnishes: Don’t limit yourself to just the basic toppings. Consider adding additional ingredients like sliced avocado or guacamole, crumbled cotija or queso fresco cheese, chopped cilantro, diced red onions, or pickled jalapeños for added texture and flavor.
