Step-by-step — How to make Crispy Cheesy Chicken Tacos

Follow these simple steps for maximum crunch and flavor.
Step 1 — Prep the chicken: Combine the cubed chicken thighs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, parsley, oregano, cumin and 2 tsp olive oil in a bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 2 — Cook for crispiness: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of cooking spray or a small knob of light butter. Add the chicken cubes in a single layer (work in batches to avoid crowding). Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 75°C / 165°F. Remove and rest on a paper towel briefly.
Step 3 — Make the creamy taco sauce: Whisk together low-fat yogurt, light mayo, chipotle paste and the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin). Add a splash of milk for desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 4 — Melt the cheese: Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F. Place mini soft tacos on a tray, sprinkle 15g shredded mozzarella inside each taco. Return to oven 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and edges get slightly crispy; or use a skillet to crisp cheese-lined tacos.
Step 5 — Assemble: Spoon the crispy chicken into each taco, add fresh salsa (tomato, red onion, coriander, squeeze of lime, black pepper). Drizzle creamy chipotle-yogurt sauce, grate parmesan over, finish with chopped coriander and another squeeze of lime.
Step 6 — Serve & enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These make a perfect high-protein snack or an easy meal—ideal if you’re tracking macros for weight loss.
