Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for several hours or overnight if possible. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste, especially the avocados and cilantro. If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños or hot sauce to your tacos. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge.
