4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
2 tablespoons chipotle sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the mashed roasted garlic, chipotle sauce, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and juices run clear.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Once the chicken is done, slice it into strips. Place the chicken on the warmed tortillas and top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
