🌶️ 2 teaspoons paprika
🌿 1 teaspoon cumin
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌰 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon chili powder

🍋 Juice of 2 limes
🫒 3 tablespoons olive oil
🌮 Flour tortillas

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

• Dice the chicken thighs into small, bite-sized pieces.
• In a mixing bowl, season the chicken with Lawry's seasoned salt, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, oregano, and lime juice.
• Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated in the marinade.
• Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

2- Cook the Chicken:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet.
• Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, about 8-10 minutes.

3- Toast the Tortillas:

• In a separate pan, lightly toast the flour tortillas on each side until they are warm and slightly crispy.

4- Assemble the Tacos:

• Start by spreading a generous layer of guacamole on each tortilla.
• Add a serving of the cooked chicken, followed by a sprinkle of onions and cilantro.
• For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze a little more lime juice on top just before serving.
