Ingredients

FOR THE MARINADE:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, about 4 ounces each

FOR THE SALSA:
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped ripe tomatoes
1 large ripe avocado, peeled and diced
4 to 5 green onions, (white part only), finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced jalapeño pepper, without seeds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
3 to 4 cups shredded Romaine lettuce or Iceburg lettuce
1 cup sour cream, thinned with 2 Tablespoons milk (optional)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
10 flour tortillas (6 inches)

Directions:

TO MAKE THE MARINADE: In a small bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.

Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the thighs in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place in a bowl, and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

TO MAKE THE SALSA: In a medium bowl combine the salsa ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Remove the chicken thighs from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill over Direct Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and place in a serving bowl.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese, shred the lettuce, and prepare the sour cream. Place each in serving bowls. In a small saucepan heat the black beans in their liquid. Just before serving, drain the beans and place in a serving bowl, too.

Wrap five tortillas in each of two foil packets. Grill over Direct Medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes to warm and soften.

To serve, give each person a warm tortilla and pass around the chicken and fillings so everyone can assemble their own tacos.
