1
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Wash chicken thighs and slice into tenders and place in a bowl. Set aside.
3
Combine paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne, and chipotle. Mix spices with olive oil, onions and garlic.
4
Pour spice/oil mixture over the chicken tenders and mix together thoroughly,

Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
6
Place chicken in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until completely cooked.
7
Remove chicken from oven, and place in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, shred chicken (this actually works).
8
Warm tortillas in a hot skillet for a few seconds on each side, until they kind of bubble up and are hot.
9
Fill each tortilla (FYI--I like to layer my tortillas 2-3, because then they don't fall apart) with chicken, a small amount of lettuce, onions, avocado, jalapenos, and a squeeze of lime.
