Caramelised Onion and Grilled Chicken Tacos

500 g chicken thigh

2 brown onions, cut into thick wedges

1 tsp each ground cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano

½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp salt

3 tbsp olive oil

1 large red onion, finely diced

1 mango, diced

Large handful coriander, roughly chopped

Juice 1 lime

1 avocado, cut into thin wedges

12 tortillas, warmed

1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced - optional

Extra lime to serve

Combine the chicken, onion, spices, salt and half the olive oil in a large bowl. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile combine the red onion, mango, coriander, lime and season to taste.

Place a large pan over a medium high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the marinated chicken/onion mix and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning the chicken and onions throughout to caramelise and cook through. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan to deglaze all the delicious bits from the pan and stir that through, then transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl and slice the chicken into thin pieces.

Place the warmed tortillas down and top with avocado slices, chicken, caramelised onions, and the red onion, mango salsa. Add a couple of slices of jalapeño if using and serve with extra lime wedge.
