Blackstone Griddle Mojo Chicken Tacos
Description
Juicy mojo-marinated chicken seared on the Blackstone griddle and piled into warm, charred tortillas with pickled onions, cabbage, and salsa verde. A bright, citrusy, 20-minute taco night the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders, or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mojo marinade
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 8 small tortillas, corn or flour
- 1 cup pickled onions
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup salsa verde
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone griddle on medium for a few minutes and lightly oil the surface.
- Toss the chicken tenders with the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken 4–5 minutes, flipping a few times, until cooked through (165°F). Cook time is shorter for bite-sized pieces.
- Toss the chicken with the mojo marinade right on the griddle and cook 1–2 minutes more, until the marinade reduces and coats the chicken.
- Warm the tortillas on the griddle (or microwave wrapped in a towel) until pliable and lightly charred.
- Fill each tortilla with chicken and top with pickled onions, shredded cabbage, and salsa verde. Serve hot.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Cooking oil (olive oil or similar),
- Instant-read thermometer
Notes
- No mojo? Whisk orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and cumin — or use fresh lime juice alone.
- Marinade is added at the end as a glaze so it caramelizes instead of burning.
- Store leftover chicken (separate from toppings) up to 3 days; reheat on the griddle or in a skillet.
