Ingredients to Gather

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
3 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoons grapeseed, canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup of your favorite beer
quick pickled radish

6 radishes, thinly sliced
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
chipotle cream

1/2 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles
for serving & topping

1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 to 2 avocados, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
charred tortillas

Directions to Follow

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken in a dish or resealable plastic bag and cover it with the salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, minced chili and adobo sauce. Add in the lime juice. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the chicken and sear it on both sides until it's deeply golden brown. Pour in the beer and let it cook down almost halfway.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, just until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the skillet and using forks or kitchen tongs, shred the chicken and toss with any of the juices and beer in the skillet.

Now it's time to assemble the tacos. To do this, place the cabbage and avocado in the tortilla. Top with the chicken, tomatoes, radishes, cilantro, queso fresco and chipotle cream.
