Baja Chicken Tacos are seasoned with Tajin spice and seared to perfection. Add fresh pico de gallo, avocado, cotija cheese, and creamy Baja sauce to make the best tacos you've ever tasted!
Sear flour tortillas in a skillet over high heat to char, or hold them over an open gas flame for only a few seconds. Take care not to burn them. Wrap in foil to keep warm.
Sprinkle chicken with Tajin spice. Add olive oil to a medium hot skillet and cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes per side until done. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes while making toppings.
Chop tomatoes, half of the cilantro, and onion into small pieces for pico de gallo. Add to a small bowl.
Dice avocado and squeeze lime juice over it to keep it from browning.
Dice red cabbage into small bites.
Slice chicken into bite sized pieces.
To assemble tacos, add several spoonfuls of chicken to a warm tortilla. Top with pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro, cabbage, Baja sauce and cotija cheese.
BAJA SAUCE
Mix mayonnaise, sour cream and lime juice in a blender. Pulse until smooth.
Fold in cilantro and Tajin seasoning. Pulse a few times and pour into a bowl.
Drizzle over tacos.
Notes
To save time, use diced rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken tenders. Season as directed.
Taco seasoning can be substituted for Tajin spice, but it won't have the same zesty flavor.
If you can't find cotija cheese, substitute feta cheese instead.
