Flavorful Chipotle Chicken Street Tacos Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• to taste salt and pepper
• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1 whole avocado (sliced)
• 1 4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• for serving lime wedges

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the chopped chipotle pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks.
4. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
5. While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of sliced chicken in each tortilla. Top with shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
7. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of juice.
