Marinated in chipotle, lime, and spices, every bite is smoky, zesty, and totally irresistible!

Start by marinating 6 chicken thighs with chipotle sauce, cumin, chili powder, citrus juice, garlic, onion, and herbs. Let sit for at least 1 hour or overnight for max flavor. Pan-fry in oil for 7 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred. Rest and chop into bite-sized pieces.

For the salsa, sauté jalapeños, onion, and garlic, then blend with cilantro, avocado, salt, and water until creamy. Warm your tortillas in the same pan, fill with the flavorful chicken, top with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, that creamy salsa, and a squeeze of lime.

Don’t forget the grilled onions on top for an extra flavor punch! Watch the full video below and taco night will never be the same again.
