Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) southwest spice blend (per HelloFresh recipe)
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) black pepper
  • 1 cup (150g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup (150g) shredded romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup (120g) diced red onion
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup (120g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lime juice (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) southwest spice blend (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, southwest spice blend, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Spread marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. While the chicken roasts, prepare your toppings: dice tomatoes, shred lettuce, chop onion, and slice avocado.
  5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  6. Once cooked, remove chicken from oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.
  7. On each tortilla, place shredded chicken and top with diced tomatoes, lettuce, onion, avocado, and cheese.
  8. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and lime juice with a dash of southwest spice blend (optional).
  9. Serve tacos with sauce, lime wedges, and any extra toppings.
