Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken strips with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and 2 tbsp lime juice. Toss until every strip is evenly coated, then let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

While the chicken marinates, make the avocado crema. Combine the avocados, sour cream, 3 tbsp lime juice, cilantro leaves, jalapeño (if using), and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt, then transfer to a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Set aside.
