Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, lime juice, orange juice and apple cider vinegar. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour and up to overnight.
- Combine salsa ingredients.
- Turn gas grill to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Clean and oil grate.
- Brush both sides of tortillas with olive oil and grill for about 30 seconds each side. Remove, cover and keep warm. Remove chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs to the grill, cover, and cook until well browned, 6-7 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until well browned on second side and chicken registers 160 degrees, 5-7 more minutes. Transfer grilled chicken thighs to cutting board, cover, and rest for 5 minutes. Slice or dice chicken thighs.
- To assemble tacos, layer diced chicken and top with peach salsa, cotija cheese, a squeeze of lime and finish with cilantro.
