Recipe By: @MeatChurch

🌶️Fun Fact: Ancho peppers are actually dried poblano peppers, prized for their smoky-sweet flavor with notes of raisin, chocolate, and gentle heat.

What You’ll Need 🌶️

3 lbs chicken thighs 
Achiote seasoning to taste (sub Meat Church Hail Mary)
Tortillas
Pickled red onions
Salsa verde
Cotija cheese 

2 Dried ancho chilies
3T Chipotles in adobo 
3T Minced garlic
1 T Dried Mexican oregano
1/2 t Cumin
1/2 t Ground clove
2.5 T Meat Church Blanco
1/4 Cup Apple cider vinegar
1 Cup Orange juice

🔥 Step By Step

1️⃣ Make That Marinade Magic
Steep the ancho chiles in boiling water for a few minutes, just until they soften up and get blend-ready. Remove the stems, then add the chiles to a blender with just enough of that chile water to turn them into a smooth, smoky ancho paste.

2️⃣ Let The Chicken Take A Flavor Nap
Add all marinade ingredients, including that ancho paste, to a food-safe container and whisk until combined. Add the chicken thighs and mix until every piece is fully coated and tucked into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight so the flavor can do its thing.

3️⃣ Fire Up The Grill
Light your charcoal. We used Meat Church Lump Charcoal and let it get nice and hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade, then season evenly with achiote seasoning or Meat Church Hail Mary seasoning.

4️⃣ Grill Until Charred & Juicy
Place the chicken on the grill and cook until each side has that beautiful taco-night char and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5️⃣ Slice It Up
Once cooked, slice the chicken thighs into juicy strips and set aside. Try not to snack too much before taco assembly. We believe in you.

6️⃣ Toast Those Tortillas
Toast your tortillas on a cast iron skillet or directly over the fire until warm, flexible, and lightly charred.

7️⃣ Build The Taco
Start with a toasted tortilla, then pile on the grilled chicken, salsa verde, cotija cheese, and pickled red onion.

8️⃣ Serve & Devour
Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, saucy, char-kissed taco glory.🌶️
