Instructions

Marinate the chicken: In a Ziplock bag, combine half of the lime juice with the marinade ingredients. Add chicken, coat well, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook marinated chicken for about 5–8 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F). Let rest before slicing.
Prepare the filling: In another skillet, heat olive oil and sauté onions until translucent. Add corn and black beans; season and cook for a few more minutes.
Assemble tacos: Fill tortillas with sliced chicken and filling, adding avocado chunks and cilantro, then drizzle with avocado dressing.
