Smoky Weeknight Chicken Tacos with Avocado Crema

Recipe By: @itssogood81
Miriam cooks craveable soul-food magic with flair—shrimp tacos, oxtail lasagna, crab soups—all served bold, loving, and “you-won’t-cook-this-at-home” delicious. 🌮 Give this craveworthy chef a follow!

Here’s what you’ll need:
4 diced chicken thighs
1.5-2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tbs adobo sauce
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp chili powder
Black pepper
Avocado oil

Avocado dip:
2 avocados ripened
Ranch dip seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
Juice from 1 lime

Other:
Colby jack cheese
Pepper jack cheese
Avocado oil
Flour or corn tortillas
Cilantro to garnish

How To Make The Magic:
Step 1: Dice It Up
Grab 4 boneless chicken thighs and chop ‘em into bite-size magic.

Step 2: Bring the Flavor
Toss that chicken in a fiesta of spices—cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, adobo, and black pepper. Let it marinate and soak up the good stuff. 🌶️

Step 3: Creamy Dreamy Sauce Time
In a bowl, mash together 2 avocados, ranch dip seasoning, ½ cup sour cream, and juice from 1 lime. Boom—Avocado Crema perfection. 🥑

Step 4: Sear to Perfection
Sizzle your marinated chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until it’s golden and crusty. Remove and let it rest (if you can wait).

Step 5: Tortilla Magic
Drop a tortilla into that same pan—let it soak up the flavor bits. Top with Colby Jack cheese + chicken. Let it melt and crisp for a couple of minutes. 🧀🔥

Step 6: The Grand Finale
Crown those tacos with avocado crema, cilantro, and your favorite salsa or hot sauce. Take a bite and prepare for a flavor explosion. 💥
