Instructions
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for maximum flavor.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm the cassava flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a few strips of chicken on each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, red onion, chopped cilantro, sliced radishes, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.
