(2 servings | 4 tacos)

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

FOR SERVING:

Directions
Whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag, add the marinade, remove any air, and seal the bag. Shake bag to coat chicken. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
While the chicken is marinating make the salsa. In a separate bowl, gently combine the avocado salsa ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
Remove chicken from the bag and discard excess marinade. Grill over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, warm up the tortillas in a pan or grill on medium-low heat, flipping on each side.
Transfer chicken to a platter and cover with foil. Allow to set for 3-5 minutes. Thinly slice and serve in tortillas with the avocado salsa, lime wedges, and cilantro garnish as desired.

SILVERADO RECIPE HACK!
For the marinade, you can use whichever spices available in your pantry! Chipotle powder can add a smokiness. Ancho chile powder to add some heat. Oregano for an earthy flavor.
