Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice golden brown color. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Warm the Tortillas
In a separate dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable and slightly toasted. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

Assemble the Tacos
