Easy Chicken Tacos

Ingrédients

2 packets Costco chicken thighs (4-5)

2 tsp garlic powder

2tsp onion powder

1 tbsp smoked paprika

2 tsp salt

1 tsp chicken buillon

2 Limes juiced

1tablespoon vinegar-based hot sauce (such as Crystal, Tabasco or Louisiana brands), plus more if desired for serving

4tablespoons vegetable or avocado oil, divided

Salt and black pepper

8corn or flour tortillas, warmed

Minced onion and cilantro, for serving

Guacamole, salsa verde, pico de galloor pickled vegetables, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Mix the chicken, garlic, lime juice, hot sauce, onion powder, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper in a bowl and toss to combine, making sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the mixture.

Step 2

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or other large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until browned and edges begin to crisp, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Using tongs or a fork, move the chicken from the pan to a cutting board. Adjust heat to medium-low, carefully add ½ cup water and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Keep the skillet over medium-low while you proceed with the next step.

Step 3

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the skillet. Toss to coat in the pan sauce and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 more minutes; turn off heat. Serve straight from the skillet with warm tortillas, onions and cilantro and your choice of additional toppings.
