spicy-marinated-chicken-taco

I thought it would be too spicy, but it turned out just perfect. I made chicken tacos—normally, I cook the chicken fresh on the spot, but this time, I marinated it overnight in yogurt and habanero hot sauce. And let me tell you, I’m marinating my chicken way more often from now on. It takes zero extra effort, just a little planning ahead. After roasting to perfection, I sliced the meat and mixed it back with the pan juices for extra flavor. Then, I built the ultimate taco with an avocado, orange, and charred scallion salad, pickled onions, cilantro, and a final kiss of habanero hot sauce. The layers of flavor were unreal—spicy, tangy, smoky, and fresh. Definitely a taco I’ll be making again!
