A whole chicken is usually a better value than separate pieces. To prep the avocado, split it in half, discard the pit, and put cut-up slices directly onto roast chicken tacos.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole chicken (about 3 pounds), rinsed and patted dry (giblets removed)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
12 white corn tortillas
1 small white onion, diced small
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1 avocado
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place a cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof pan in oven; preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Carefully remove skillet from oven; place chicken in skillet. Roast until juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and leg or an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, about 35 minutes. Cover chicken loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Shred meat into bite-size pieces.
  • Heat each tortilla over a gas flame, or stack them, wrap in foil, and warm in turned-off oven 10 minutes. Fill tortillas with chicken, onion, cilantro, and avocado. Serve tacos with lime wedges.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken tacos, but these were really good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the roasted vegetables added a nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the oven. The roasted vegetables were also a nice touch.
