Instructions
- 1
Trim the fat off the chicken thighs if you want (I do). Toss the chicken thighs with soy sauce, oil, and garlic. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and give it a quick mix.
- 2
Place the chicken in the basket of an air fryer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes – at this point it should be very crusty, golden, juicy, and delicious.
- 3
While the chicken is cooking, blitz up the sauce in a small food processor or blender. If it's too thick, add more water. If it's too thin, add a bit more avocado or mayo.

When the chicken is done, let it stand for a few minutes and then roughly chop or pull it into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze some lime juice over it.
- 5
A dollop of sauce into a tortilla, a big pile of that juicy chicken, and finish with cilantro and diced onion (and probably more sauce)! It is a dream come true.
