1 bag Corn tortillas
1 head Shredded lettuce
8 pieces Lime wedges
1 cup Diced onion
3 sprigs Cilantro
1 pound Skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 pieces Minced garlic cloves
1 cup Medium white onion
1-1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1-1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1-1/2 teaspoon Chipotle
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoon Olive oil

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Wash chicken thighs and slice into tenders and place in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne, and chipotle. Mix spices with olive oil, onions and garlic.
Pour spice/oil mixture over the chicken tenders and mix together thoroughly,
Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Place chicken in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until completely cooked.
Remove chicken from oven, and place in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, shred chicken (this actually works).
Warm tortillas in a hot skillet for a few seconds on each side, until they kind of bubble up and are hot.
Fill each tortilla (FYI--I like to layer my tortillas 2-3, because then they don't fall apart) with chicken, a small amount of lettuce, onions, avocado, jalapenos, and a squeeze of lime.
