• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 22 minutes

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

Directions

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.

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.

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.

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*

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.
