• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable and lightly toasted.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing the sliced chicken, diced red onion, avocado slices, shredded red cabbage, and diced tomatoes onto each warm tortilla.

Step 8

Garnish each taco with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the low sodium chicken street tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
