Mojo is a Cuban garlic-citrus marinade that has a really intense Caribbean zest to it.
These bright, colorful tacos bowl swings for the fences and knocks the ball out of the park, with a bit more tang and a lot more depth of flavor than the average dinner.
These tacos essentially have four steps to them, meaning you can prepare a lot of the ingredients in advance. I would recommend marinating the chicken and pickled onions overnight, and prepping the salsa the day of. And definitely double or triple the ingredients if you want to make the salsa verde or pickled onions in bulk - they’ll keep for about 1-2 weeks in the fridge and go great on all types of dishes.
In all honesty, the salsa and pickled onions are optional toppings - it’s the mojo marinade that really shines. You’ll never taste anything like this a garlic, olive oil, and sour orange sauce. Do not miss out on these vibrant flavors - recipe below!
