These Chile Margarita Chicken Tacos keep things simple and delicious when things get busy. Why is Spiceology Chile Margarita - aka Chile Marg - a fan favorite? Easy - it's the freshly ground chili pepper, brown sugar, sea salt, orange peel, cumin, and lime oil. The balanced citrus and heat instantly amps up chicken thighs, plus this is easy to meal prep ahead of time so you can whip up a quick lunch or dinner. And while Chile Margarita is fantastic as a rub or marinade, it's also dang tasty as a rim on a margarita...
