    Please note that this recipe is not AIP/Paleo. However, I’m looking forward to changing the recipe to make it compliant soon.

    Cook Time45 minutes mins
    Total Time1 hour hr
    Course: Main Dish
    Cuisine: Mexican
    Servings: 4 servings
    Calories: 1962kcal
    Author: Beth Chen

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds Chicken thighs
    • 1 tablespoon cumin
    • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil plus more for grilling
    • 1 onion sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
    • 2 jalapenos cut in half (and remove the seeds if you don’t want it too spicy)
    • 1 avocado sliced
    • cilantro
    • salsa verde
    • tortillas

    Instructions

    • Preheat grill.
    • Combine the smoked paprika, black pepper, chili powder and brown sugar in a small bowl.
    • Then add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the spices and combine until you have a paste.
    • Massage the spice paste into the chicken.
    • Once the grill is hot, place the chicken on the grates.
    • Allow the chicken to cook about 5-7 minutes. The cooking time is dependent upon how hot your grill is. The cooking times I am giving are for a grill at about 350 degrees. Some grills get much hotter than that so you need to pay close attention to the cooking times.
    • While the chicken is cooking, you can toss the onions and jalapenos with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
    • When you are ready to flip the chicken you can also add the onion and jalapenos to the grill.
    • Let the chicken cook for another 5-7 minutes.
    • Let the onions and jalapenos cook until they are soft and have a nice grill marks on them. Then remove them from the grill.
    • Once the chicken is cooked remove the grill and let sit for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Place the chicken, onions, jalapenos, avocado, cilantro and salsa verde in a tortilla to serve.

    Notes

    Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Food poisoning really spoils the fun of a summer BBQ. For more info on proper cooking times click here.
