- Begin by placing the boneless chicken thighs or breasts in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken. Toss until well-coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, checking for a golden crust before flipping. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F. Let rest and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- In a blender, combine the avocado oil, red wine vinegar, honey, chipotle chili pepper, garlic, oregano, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red cabbage, black beans, corn, and diced red bell pepper. Fold in the cubed avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced chicken.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate for meal prep.
