Beer-Marinated Chicken Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Marinade
    1 cup dark Mexican beer (Negra Modelo)
    1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
    1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Other
    6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 4 ounces each
    6 flour tortillas (6-7 inches) or 6 corn tortillas (6-7 inches)
    Guacamole
    1 ripe Hass avocado
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
    Make marinade: in a small bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients.
    Place the thighs in a large plastic zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade.
    Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
    Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 1-4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
    Make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the lime juice and salt.
    Using a fork, mash the ingredients together.
    Cover with plastic wrap, placing it directly on the surface to prevent browning, and refrigerate until about 1 hour before serving.
    Remove thighs from the bag and discard the marinade.
    Grill over Direct High heat until the meat is firm and juices run clear, 8-10 minutes, turning once or twice.
    Cut the chicken into thin strips.
    Warm the tortillas over Direct Medium heat for about 1 minute, turning once.
    Pile the sliced chicken inside the tortillas; top each with a spoonful of guacamole; serve warm.
