Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 individual peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (soy-free)
• 3 individual Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 individual Corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Diced red onion
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 individual Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade. In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, garlic cloves, lime juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.

Step 4

Grill or pan-sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your taco toppings, including chopping fresh cilantro, dicing tomatoes and red onion, slicing avocado, and setting out sour cream.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly across the grain.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side or until pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, place slices of chicken on each tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, a slice of avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious soy-free chipotle chicken tacos!
