Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (Trim excess fat if desired)
0.5 tbsp soy sauce
0.5 tbsp avocado oil
1 garlic (Grated; alternatively, use 1 tsp garlic paste or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
2.5 tbsp taco seasoning (Source gives a range of 2–3 tbsp; Siete brand recommended)
0.5 avocado
0.5 cup mayonnaise
3 oz cotija cheese (Structured data spells this as “cotjia”)
0.5 cup cilantro (One big handful; use stems and leaves)
1 garlic
2 tbsp lime juice (Juice of 1–2 limes; the stated equivalent is 2 tbsp)
2 tbsp water (Add more as needed to thin the sauce)
tortillas (Amount not specified)
lime (For topping and squeezing over the chopped chicken; amount not specified)
cilantro (For topping; amount not specified)
onion (Diced, for topping; amount not specified)

Steps

1
Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs if desired.
2
Toss the chicken thighs with the soy sauce, avocado oil, and grated garlic until coated.
3
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken and mix briefly to coat.
4
Arrange the chicken in the basket of an air fryer. Air-fry at 400°F (about 200°C) for 10–12 minutes, until crusty and golden and the chicken is cooked through.
5
While the chicken cooks, combine the avocado, mayonnaise, cotija, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons water in a small food processor or blender. Blitz until smooth. Add more water if the sauce is too thick; add a little more avocado or mayonnaise if it is too thin.
6
When the chicken is done, let it stand for a few minutes.
7
Roughly chop the chicken or pull it into bite-sized pieces, then squeeze lime juice over it.
8
Spread a dollop of green sauce in each tortilla and pile in the chicken. Finish with cilantro and diced onion, adding more sauce if desired.

Notes

Oven alternative from the source: bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. For thick chicken breasts, slice them in half and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F. Taco seasoning blends vary in saltiness, sweetness, and heat; the author recommends mild Siete seasoning.
