Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cabbage (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup onion (diced)
  • 1 cup salsa (your choice)
  • 1 avocado sliced

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Add 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) to the mixture and marinate for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown.
  5. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juiciness.
  6. Once cooled slightly, chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces that will fit perfectly into your tacos.
  7. On a skillet, warm 8 small corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable and slightly toasted.
  8. Place a generous portion of the chopped chicken on each tortilla, allowing that savory flavor to shine through in every bite.
  9. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cabbage, followed by 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and 1/2 cup of diced onion to add freshness and crunch.
  10. Drizzle your choice of salsa (about 1 cup) over the toppings and add sliced avocado to create a creamy balance.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful Chicken Street Tacos!
