Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken by seasoning the thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, Mexican oregano, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Cook the chicken thighs until tender and fully cooked, then shred or finely chop the meat.

3. 3

   To make the sauce, combine tomatillos, serranos, onion, garlic, avocado, lime juice, cilantro, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth and season with salt to taste.

4. 4

   Prepare the toppings by finely dicing the remaining half onion and chopping the remaining cilantro bundle.

5. 5

   Heat a small amount of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla in the pan, add a layer of shredded Oaxaca cheese and a portion of the seasoned chicken.

6. 6

   Fold the tortilla over to create a taco shape and fry on both sides until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve the crispy tacos immediately topped with the fresh salsa, diced onion, and cilantro.

The source lists 'Quaxa Cheese', which is a misspelling of Oaxaca cheese. The preparation steps were inferred based on the ingredient list and the dish title as the full text was behind a paywall.
