Chipotle Lime Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

• For the chicken:
  • 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp chipotle seasoning
  • Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For the toppings:
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving
• For the tortillas:
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together the chipotle seasoning, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and charred. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
3. Prepare the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or on the grill until soft and pliable.
4. Assemble the tacos: Place a few strips of chicken on each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
