Description
 These tacos are free of onion and garlic, and are made using ground chicken thighs (or any kind of ground meat you prefer; beef or turkey would work great here too!). These can also be served with Classic Rice and Beans, Oat-Wheat Tortillas, cheese, and Five Minute Salsa (No Garlic/Onion). Also check out my standard Sauteed Taco Meat and Fajita Veggies recipe

  1. Prepare your spice mix in a mason jar - paprika, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, cornstarch, and cayenne

    2.
  2. Start with the peppers, since they will take the longest. Preheat a 12" nonstick pan over medium heat with a spray of oil. Wash the peppers, and cut into long thin strips. Add to the pan with some oil

    3.
  3. Season the peppers with your spice mix, about 5 tsp. Cover and cook until soft, browned, and lightly charred, about 20 minutes. Finish with lemon (or lime) juice

    4.
  4. As the peppers cook, move over to the meat. Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add the oil and meat to the pan. Brown the meat, and cook until no longer pink

    5.
  5. Stir in the rest spice mixture and pour in water. Reduce heat to 2 and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Uncovered

    6.
  6. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and lime (or lemon) juice. Simmer until flavors combine, 3-4 minutes

    7.
  7. Serve with tortillas, rice, beans, cheese, and salsa

    8.
