Ingredients:

For the Adobo Chicken:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Slaw:

• 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Tacos:

• Corn or flour tortillas
• Sliced avocado
• Chopped green onions
• Sliced jalapeños (optional for extra heat)
• Fresh lime wedges
• Sriracha or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaf, whole black peppercorns, and brown sugar. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the slaw: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey or sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Cook the marinated chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and add it to the hot skillet. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the tacos: Place a spoonful of the cooked adobo chicken onto each tortilla. Top with a generous portion of the slaw, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, and sliced jalapeños (if using). Drizzle with Sriracha or hot sauce for extra heat, if desired. Serve with fresh lime wedges on the side.
6. Enjoy your Filipino-Inspired Adobo Chicken Tacos, bursting with bold flavors and vibrant colors in every bite!

These Adobo Chicken Tacos offer a delightful fusion of Filipino and Mexican cuisines, combining the tangy-sweet flavors of adobo with the fresh crunch of slaw and creamy avocado.
