How to Make Ridiculously Good Chicken Tacos with Green Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 clove garlic, grated (or 1 tsp garlic paste, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I use Siete brand)
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 3-ounce chunk of cotija cheese
- 1 big handful of cilantro stems and leaves (roughly 1/2 cup)
- 1 clove garlic
- Juice of 1-2 limes (2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons water (more as needed)
- Tortillas
- Limes, cilantro, and onion for topping
Directions:
- Trim the fat off the chicken thighs if you want (I do). Toss the chicken thighs with soy sauce, avocado oil, and grated garlic. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and give it a quick mix.
- Place the chicken in the basket of an air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. The chicken should be very crusty, golden, juicy, and delicious.
- While the chicken is cooking, blitz up the sauce in a small food processor or blender. If it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more avocado or mayo.
- When the chicken is done, let it stand for a few minutes and then roughly chop or pull it into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze some lime juice over it—chef’s kiss!
- Add a dollop of sauce into a tortilla, pile on that juicy chicken, and finish with cilantro and diced onion (and probably more sauce)! It is a dream come true.
