Ingredients

• 6 chicken thighs (skinless and boneless)
• 2 tsp chilli powder
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp hot smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
• 1 tbsp sour cream
• 1 tbsp water
• ½ lime (juice)
• 8 small soft tacos (10cm diameter)
• 1 handful fresh coriander
• guacamole
• sour cream
• Sriracha hot sauce
• 150 g sweetcorn
• 1 tsp hot smoked paprika
• ½ small red chilli (finely sliced)
• 1 handful fresh coriander (finely chopped)
• salt and pepper (seasoning )
• chicken
• extras
• Charred corn
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground cumin

Method

1. Remove excess fat from the chicken thighs and then slice each one into three strips, set aside.
2. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl, season with black pepper.
3. Add the chicken and coat thoroughly. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes but preferably up to 24 hours.
4. Place a cast iron griddle pan on a high heat for at least 5 minutes until close to smoking hot. Add the chicken in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Turn the chicken every 30 seconds to a minute and cook for 2-3 minutes. Heat a frying pan on a low-medium heat. Transfer the griddled chicken to the frying pan to heat through for 5-10 minutes.
6. For the charred sweetcorn, add a little oil to a frying pan on a high heat. Add all the ingredients to a pan, mix together so evenly coated then leave to char. Aggravate the pan every minute or so to prevent them from sticking. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until charred.
7. Cook the soft tacos in a dry frying pan according to packet instructions.
8. Assemble the tacos. Spoon guacamole on the bottom, followed by a few strips of chicken. Spoon on some of the charred sweetcorn, followed by sour cream, coriander and sriracha hot sauce.
9. Serve and enjoy!
