Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle pepper can)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, chili powder, minced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for better flavor.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook until browned on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and lime juice, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
  5. Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and mix it with the sauce in the skillet.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  7. Assemble tacos by placing a portion of the chipotle chicken on each tortilla and topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
