Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 8 pieces coconut flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 4 wedges lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to the bowl. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the coconut flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla.
Top with chopped cilantro, red onion, and sliced avocado.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
