Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly with the mixture. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and crispy. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

For the Avocado Crema

  1. 3

    Make the Avocado Crema

    In a blender, combine ripe avocados, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and cilantro (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

For the Tacos

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. To each tortilla, add sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños (if using). Drizzle with avocado crema.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
