Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

Assemble the Tacos
In each corn tortilla, place a portion of the grilled chicken, top with micro greens, a generous spoonful of pickled red onion, and a drizzle of the jalapeno creme (mix sour cream with chopped jalapeno). Finally, sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese.
