These chicken tacos are made with thighs, which are more flavorful than chicken breasts; plus, they're less expensive. Put them to work in any fast weeknight preparation, starting with these spiced tacos.

  • This is a go-to at our house during the summer. It's SO flavorful and easy. Also great for just a quick weeknight meal or scaled up for a large group.
