Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken thighs or firm tofu (for vegan option)
• 12 Corn tortillas
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 Red onion, diced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 4 Radishes, thinly sliced
• 2 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
• 4 Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

If using chicken thighs, cut them into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu, press it to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes.

Step 3

Add the chicken or tofu to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the protein marinates, prepare the toppings. Dice the red onion, chop the fresh cilantro, dice the avocado, and thinly slice the radishes. Set them all aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or tofu along with any remaining marinade to the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked or the tofu is golden on all sides.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by dividing the cooked protein among the tortillas. Top each taco with the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and sliced radishes.

Step 8

Drizzle each taco with hot sauce if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

Step 9

Enjoy your delicious dairy-free street tacos!
