Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
For Serving
  • 12 pieces corn tortillas Warmed
  • 3 pieces ripe avocados
  • 1 pieces white onion Finely diced
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro Chopped
  • 2 pieces limes Cut into wedges
  • 4 oz queso fresco cheese Crumble for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season chicken thighs with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Mash avocados with lime juice and salt to make fresh guacamole. Set aside.
  3. Dice onion finely, chop cilantro, crumble cheese, and cut lime into wedges.
Cooking
  1. Cook seasoned chicken in a hot skillet for 6-8 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
  2. Warm corn tortillas on a dry skillet or over an open flame until pliable and lightly charred.
Assembly
  1. Slice chicken and fill tortillas with meat, guacamole, onions, cilantro, and cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

Timing is key: Don’t rush the marination process; 15 minutes will help the flavors meld beautifully. Customize your toppings and keep it fresh with lime juice.
