Instructions
- How to Make Chicken Street Tacos
Start by seasoning the boneless chicken thighs with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor. - Prepare Guacamole
While the chicken is marinating, mash the ripe avocados in a bowl, adding fresh lime juice and salt to taste. Set this aside to let the flavors meld together. - Prep Toppings
Next, finely dice the white onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Crumble the queso fresco cheese and cut limes into wedges for serving. - Cook Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are charred and cooked through. - Warm Tortillas
In the same skillet or over an open flame, heat the corn tortillas for roughly 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable and slightly charred. - Assemble Tacos
Now, slice the cooked chicken and fill each tortilla with chicken, followed by a generous spoonful of guacamole, diced onion, chopped cilantro, and crumbled cheese. Serve immediately for the best experience!
Notes
- Letting the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes enhances flavor.
- Setting the guacamole aside after mashing allows the flavors to meld.
- Warming the tortillas until pliable and slightly charred improves texture and taste.
