Instructions
1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.

2

Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to toast the spices.

3

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine 1 diced avocado, 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro.

4

Drizzle with the juice of 1 lime and season with salt to taste, mixing gently to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro to create the cilantro-lime crema.

5

To assemble the tacos, warm 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Spoon the ground chicken mixture onto each tortilla, top with the avocado salsa, and drizzle with the cilantro-lime crema.

6

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
