what you’ll need:

for the chicken:

• 1 tbsp avocado oil

• 1lb boneless skinless chicken thighs

• 1 taco seasoning packet

  for the avocado corn salsa:

• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or roasted)

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 jalapeno, finely diced 

• Juice of 1 lime

• Generous pinch of salt

  served with:

• Street-size tortillas (corn or flour)

• Cotija cheese, crumbled

• Hot sauce

• Sour cream

• Sliced jalapeño

Instructions:

1. Set your grill to 400°F and allow it to fully preheat with the lid closed (about 10-15 minutes).

2. Pat the chicken thighs dry. Lightly brush with avocado oil, then season evenly on both sides with the taco seasoning.

3. Place the chicken directly on the grill grates. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. 

4. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

5. In a bowl, combine corn, diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix to keep the avocado chunky.

6. Place tortillas directly on the grill for 20-30 seconds per side until warm and lightly charred.

7. Time to assemble! Layer sliced chicken onto tortillas, then top with avocado corn salsa and any desired toppings (cotija, sour cream, hot sauce, jalapeños). Enjoy!
