Ingredients

• Boneless chicken thighs - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Guava paste - 100 grams
• Chicken broth - 150 milliliters
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
4. In the same skillet, add guava paste and chicken broth. Stir until the guava paste melts and the mixture is well combined. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Add the chopped chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat it in the guava sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until pliable.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing the guava chicken mixture on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
