Just 20 minutes to get these chicken tacos on the table! Juicy, flavorful, and absolutely mindless in the best way.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb.boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • ½ tablespoonsoy sauce
  • ½ tablespoonavocado oil
  • 1 clovegarlic, grated (or 1 tsp of garlic paste, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 tablespoonstaco seasoning (i use siete brand)
  • ½avocado
  • ½ cupmayo
  • 3ounce chunk of cotjia cheese
  • 1big handful of cilantro stems and leaves (roughly 1/2 cup)
  • 1 clovegarlic
  • juice of 1-2 limes (2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoonswater (more as needed)
  • tortillas
  • limes, cilantro, and onion for topping

Directions

  1. 1

    Trim the fat off the chicken thighs if you want (I do). Toss the chicken thighs with soy sauce, oil, and garlic. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and give it a quick mix.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken in the basket of an air fryer (alternate cooking instructions in the notes). Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes – at this point it should be very crusty, golden, juicy, and delicious.

  3. 3

    While the chicken is cooking, blitz up the sauce in a small food processor or blender. If it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more avocado or mayo.

  4. 4

    When the chicken is done, let it stand for a few minutes and then roughly chop or pull it into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze some lime juice over it. *chef’s kiss*

  5. 5

    A dollop of sauce into a tortilla, a big pile of that juicy chicken, and finish with cilantro and diced onion (and probably more sauce)! It is a dream come true.
