Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 pieces jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- 4 pieces tortilla wraps
- 0.5 cup sour cream (for serving)
- 1 piece avocado, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and sauté the onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños for about 5-7 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized.
Warm the tortilla wraps in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Fill each tortilla with a mix of chicken strips and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired and top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices.
Fold or wrap the tortillas, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Ciclon Heat Storm!
