Spicy Chicken Tacos With Corn, Feta, And Avocado Recipe
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 chipotles in adobo, plus 1 tablespoon of sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 2 ears of corn, kernels sliced off
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta, preferably Bulgarian
- 2 tablespoons fresh juice from 2 limes
- 8 corn tortillas, warmed
- 1/2 cup picked cilantro leaves
- 2 ripe avocados, pitted and sliced
- Lime wedges and thinly sliced scallions, for serving
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- In the same pot over medium heat, add onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in cumin and oregano until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chipotles and their sauce, stirring to combine, and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and nestle the chicken back in the pot. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a clean plate. Allow cooking liquid to reduce slightly.
- Meanwhile, shred chicken with 2 forks. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine corn with feta, seasoning with 1 tablespoon of lime juice and pepper.
- Stir remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice into chicken, then spoon onto the tortillas. Serve with the corn salsa, cilantro, avocado, lime wedges, and scallions.
