Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Preparation

  • 1.

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  • 2.

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge for better flavor.

  • 3.

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  • 4.

    Remove chicken from marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  • 5.

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix gently to combine.

  • 6.

    Heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  • 7.

    To assemble the tacos, place some sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with shredded lettuce, a spoonful of avocado salsa, and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with lime wedges.
