Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

• 1.5 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• 3 tbsp Olive Ventura Tahitian Lime olive oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp local honey
• ½ tsp chili flakes (Optional)
• Salt & pepper to taste

For the Rice:

• 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tbsp Olive Ventura Tahitian lime olive oil

Taco Assembly:

• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced

• Sour cream or a light yogurt-lime sauce (Optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken
   In a bowl, mix Tahitian lime olive oil, lime juice, garlic, honey, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, coat well, and marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to 4 hours for deeper flavor). 
2. Cook the Rice 
   Rinse rice until water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice, water, olive oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with lime zest.
3. Grill or Sauté Chicken 
   Cook marinated chicken on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through (6–7 minutes per side). Let rest, then slice or chop. 
4. Warm Tortillas 
   Heat tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a flame until warm and slightly charred. Use caution and tongs to flip tortillas. 
5. Assemble Tacos 
   Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, slaw, avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add a drizzle of sour cream or yogurt sauce if desired. 
6. Serve with Rice 
   Plate tacos with a side of lime-infused rice and extra lime wedges.
