Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 medium Lime
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Juice the lime into a bowl and set aside. Dice the avocado, chop the cilantro, and finely chop the red onion. Set these aside for topping.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken thighs.

Step 5

Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized strips.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas by lightly heating them in another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, place strips of chicken onto each tortilla and top with diced avocado, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the tortillas are warm and enjoy your delicious gluten-free chicken street tacos!
