Open-Faced Tacos

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1/3 cup avocado oil, or 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese (dairy-free or regular)
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 4 leaves green leaf lettuce, chopped

Directions

1. Place the chicken thighs on a sheet of parchment paper.
2. Using a meat mallet, pound the thighs until 1/4 inch thick.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
4. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
5. Place the ground beef, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in another frying pan.
6. Cook over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink for 10 minutes, stirring to crumble it as it cooks.
7. To assemble, place the cooked chicken tortillas on serving plates and top with the ground beef filling, then the shredded cheese, diced tomato, and chopped lettuce.
