Steps:
- In a large zipper-topped plastic baggie or in shallow dish, add the chicken, all of the spices, lime juice, and oil. Close the bag and use your hands to mix everything together. If you are using a shallow dish, use tongs to work the spices evenly into the chicken. You can let this rest for up to a half-hour or work with it right away. I like to let it rest a minute to increase the flavor.
- Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the chicken. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 10 minutes. If you have an extra-large chicken thigh, you'll need to cook them longer, so turn down the heat to medium and cook them until no longer pink (could take up to 25 minutes or 12 minutes per side).
- While the chicken cooks, stir together the chicken taco topping by placing the chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and the juice of one lime in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
- While the chicken rests, wipe your skillet clean with a warm rag or paper towels, and place the skillet back on the heat over medium-high to high heat. Place two tortillas (still stacked together) on the skillet and cook until the underside starts to char. Flip over and cook the other side (so the middle of each tortilla won't be cooked against the skillet but it will get warm all the way though). Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Chop the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- To serve, place 1/8 of the chopped chicken in each set of tortillas (still two stacked together) and top with 1/8 of your onion mixture. Serve each taco with a wedge of lime to squeeze over the taco just before serving.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon canola oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 1 hour up to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and marinade, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and marinade has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness. Serve steak in tortillas, topped with onion, cilantro and lime.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Season chicken with chili powder mixture. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. Serve chicken in tortillas, topped with pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro and lime.
ROASTED CHICKEN TACOS
A whole chicken is usually a better value than separate pieces. To prep the avocado, split it in half, discard the pit, and put cut-up slices directly onto roast chicken tacos.

Steps:
- Place a cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof pan in oven; preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
- Carefully remove skillet from oven; place chicken in skillet. Roast until juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and leg or an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, about 35 minutes. Cover chicken loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Shred meat into bite-size pieces.
- Heat each tortilla over a gas flame, or stack them, wrap in foil, and warm in turned-off oven 10 minutes. Fill tortillas with chicken, onion, cilantro, and avocado. Serve tacos with lime wedges.

- Peel onions and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place in a 12- by 17-inch roasting pan with 2-inch-tall sides. In a small bowl, mix oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add half the oregano mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil to onions; mix well. Set one or two wire racks (overlap, if necessary) over onions, extending beyond pan sides so racks are not resting directly on onions.
- Remove giblets from chicken; discard or reserve for other uses. With poultry shears or sturdy scissors, cut along one side of the backbone of chicken. Pull bird open and lay, skin side up, on a flat surface; push down to crack bones slightly so bird lies reasonably flat. Pull off and discard lumps of fat. Rinse bird well on both sides; pat dry. Rub remaining 1 tablespoon oil and oregano mixture all over chicken. Set, skin side up, on racks over onions.
- Roast in a 425° oven until a thermometer reaches 170° when inserted through thickest part of chicken breast to bone and 180° when inserted through thickest part of thigh at joint, 50 to 60 minutes. Set chicken on a board or rimmed platter and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Remove racks from pan. If onions are not browned, stir and continue roasting until browned, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Scrape browned bits off pan bottom and stir into onions; spoon onions into a bowl.
- Wrap tortillas in plastic wrap and heat in a microwave oven on full power (100%) just until hot and steamy, 45 seconds to 1 minute.
