Ridiculously Good Chicken Tacos with Green Sauce

Just 20 minutes to get these chicken tacos on the table! Juicy, flavorful, and absolutely mindless in the best way.

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • . boneless skinless chicken thighs1 lb
  • soy sauce0.5 tablespoon
  • avocado oil0.5 tablespoon
  • clove garlic, grated (or 1 tsp of garlic paste, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)1
  • taco seasoning (I use Siete brand)2
  • avocado0.5
  • mayo0.5 cup
  • chunk of cotjia cheese3 ounce
  • big handful of cilantro stems and leaves (roughly 1/2 cup)1
  • clove garlic1
  • juice of 1-2 limes (2 tablespoons)1
  • water (more as needed)2 tablespoon
  • Tortillas
  • Limes, cilantro, and onion for topping

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken: Trim the fat off the chicken thighs if you want (I do). Toss the chicken thighs with soy sauce, oil, and garlic. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and give it a quick mix.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken in the basket of an air fryer (alternate cooking instructions in the notes). Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes – at this point it should be very crusty, golden, juicy, and delicious.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce: 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.

  4. 4

    Chop the Chicken: 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*

  5. 5

    You’re Done! Yum! A dollop of sauce into a tortilla, a big pile of that juicy chicken, and finish with cilantro and diced onion (and probably more sauce)! It is a dream come true.
