So enter the easiest weeknight chicken tacos ever. With a simple spice rub - chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder - the chicken is seasoned just right, thrown on the skillet and cooked through completely before dicing them up into bite-size pieces.

For the juiciest chicken tacos that you can make easily and quickly at home, I highly recommend using chicken thighs. To assemble the tacos, place the chicken in a tortilla and top with the quick salsa, the crumbled cheese and a drizzle of the crema. Serve with avocado on the side or on top and a fresh squeeze of lime. Place the tacos on a plate after shaking, then carefully pry open the tops of the tacos and stuff in some cheese. (You can use tongs, a fork, or your fingers; the tacos will be a little hot.) Then let them sit for several minutes before serving. The cheese will quickly melt inside the hot tacos, and they'll be good to go when you serve them.
