Chef's tip
Use the same weight and cut the chicken to match the recipe. Cook it to 165°F (74°C). For a long braise, slow-cooker recipe, or pressure-cooker recipe, shorten the cooking time because chicken thighs tenderize faster than steak.

3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)

For the peppers and onion

1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 medium yellow onion, halved and sliced into ¼-inch half-rings
¼ tsp salt

For the avocado crema

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
½ cup sour cream
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1–2 limes)
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
¼ tsp salt

For serving

8 gluten free tortillas (6-inch)
lime wedges (optional)
fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the steak, then drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and the 2 tbsp lime juice. Let the steak marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
While the steak marinates, make the avocado crema. Combine the avocados, sour cream, 3 tbsp lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust salt if needed, then transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
