Place the blended sauce in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

For the slaw, take shredded cabbage and drizzle the cilantro lime sauce over it, mixing until combined. Place in the fridge.

In a skillet, sauté onions with salt and pepper until softened.

6

Add seasoned diced chicken thighs to the skillet with the onions and mix.

Season the chicken again with onion powder, cumin, paprika, and chili powder to taste.

Build the tacos by adding cilantro lime slaw to each tortilla, followed by the taco meat.

Optionally, add avocado slices to each taco.
