Chicken and Avocado Tacos with Creamy Cilantro Sauce


Take the tacos to a whole new level with the addition of avocado and my favorite cilantro cream sauce. If you've had my popular shrimp tacos, then you'll love this chicken version. The chicken and avocado make a delicious pair and complement each other perfectly. The true star of the dish is this coriander sauce and flavor. It is creamy, tasty and makes a delicious addition to chicken and avocado.

The chicken is seasoned with taco and garlic. You can use it immediately after seasoning or marinate in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Once you are ready to cook the chicken, simply cook it on the stove with a few teaspoons of oil. And because the chicken is cut into small pieces, it will absorb all the flavor and the chicken will be cooked in less than 15 minutes.
