Chicken Torta Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Torta

    Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet. Layer sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, avocado, and chopped cilantro on each tortilla. Fold the tortillas in half and serve.
