Prep time: 10 min

Total time: 22 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Mexican-Inspired
Ingredients: 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs; 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce; 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil; 1 clove garlic, grated (or 1 tsp of garlic paste, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder); 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I use Siete brand); 1/2 avocado; 1/2 cup mayo; 3-ounce chunk of cotjia cheese; 1 big handful of cilantro stems and leaves (roughly 1/2 cup); 1 clove garlic; juice of 1-2 limes (2 tablespoons); 2 tablespoons water (more as needed); Tortillas; Limes, cilantro, and onion for topping

1

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

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

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

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

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.
