Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Red cabbage, shredded
- 2 medium Tomatoes, diced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable and lightly toasted.
Assemble the tacos by placing the sliced chicken, diced red onion, avocado slices, shredded red cabbage, and diced tomatoes onto each warm tortilla.
Garnish each taco with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the low sodium chicken street tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
