INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken thigh
2 corn tortillas
½ medium orange (for marinade)
½ cup shredded red cabbage
¼ medium avocado
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, whisk together the juice of ½ medium orange, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a vibrant citrus marinade.
Place the 5-ounce chicken thigh in the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to an hour for deeper flavor).
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thigh and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until nicely crisp and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, lightly warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or on a griddle.
Thinly slice the chicken once cooked. Assemble the tacos by layering the crispy chicken on the warmed tortillas, adding a handful of shredded red cabbage for crunch, and topping with slices of avocado.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lime if desired and serve immediately.
