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.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN AND BEAN TACOS
Feed your crowd without any extra fuss, that's the beauty of this recipe. With its easy dump-and-go method and all-day cook time, it's one of our favorite ways to get ahead when hosting. Letting the chicken cook all day ensures it turns out tender and makes it easy to shred. Even better, it gives you time to focus on other things, like making a delicious dessert! Because this meal is so hearty-thanks to the addition of beans-you really don't need sides. Instead, pick up your favorite taco fixings from the grocery store. You can never go wrong with guacamole, fresh limes and cheese.

CHICKEN AND BEAN SOFT TACOS
Just what this site needs - another chicken taco recipe! Here's my variation on the theme - like most recipes, it's really easy to adjust to suit your family's tastes. Cooking time is very flexible as well, sometimes I get it started and let it simmer a bit to blend the flavors, adding liquid as needed to keep it from drying out. Other times, I just throw it all together and serve it within 15 minutes.

Steps:
- saute onion in large pan till translucent. Add garlic and chopped jalapeno, saute briefly, stirring.
- (Sometimes if I don't have cooked chicken on hand, I cut raw chicken in strips and saute it along with the onions.).
- Add chicken, seasonings and remaining ingredients (except tortillas and toppings).
- Cook over medium high heat, till ingredients are combined and liquid cooks down - about 5-10 minutes.
- This timing of the cooking is flexible, depending on how much seasoning you add, how much liquid is in your beans, if you add tomato sauce, etc. I make it spicy and just wet enough that it's not dried out, but not watery or gloppy.
- Adjust seasonings, salt to taste. (For me, it's often at this point when I decide if I want to add the taste of tomato sauce.).
- Serve in flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.
