Mexican tacos are a fun dinner idea for a large group. Served on tortillas, they're informal and conducive to a fun time. The taco filling is boneless chicken thighs, marinated in a mixture of salsa, lime juice, and vegetable oil, and pan-fried until golden brown. You can serve the chicken right away among individual tortillas, along with sour cream sauce, lettuce, and onions, as well as an avocado and palm heart salad. Alternatively, you can serve all the ingredients separately, allowing guests to fill their own tortillas.
