Summary

Smoky, juicy chicken thighs are kissed with a bright chili-lime taco seasoning and paired with a vibrant smoked salsa verde, all tucked into warm tortillas. Each bite balances rich smoke, zesty citrus, and fresh herbaceous heat.

Instructions
1

Preheat the smoker to 275°F with a mild hardwood like maple or alder.

2

Smoke the veggies: In a grill basket, toss tomatillos, Serrano peppers, garlic, and onion with avocado oil. Place on the smoker and cook 30–45 minutes, flipping occasionally, until softened and lightly charred.

3

Season the chicken thighs generously on all sides with the Chili Lime Chicken Taco Seasoning.

4

Smoke the chicken: Place thighs on the smoker, close the lid, and cook 35–45 minutes until an instant-read thermometer reads 175°F. Remove, tent with foil, and rest 10 minutes, then shred or chop.

5

Make the smoked salsa verde: Transfer smoked vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add fresh cilantro and lime juice; blend to desired consistency. Season with Kosher salt to taste and set aside.

6

Prep toppings: Slice avocado, roughly chop additional cilantro, and cut lime wedges for serving (optional).

7

Warm tortillas on the hot smoker grates 1–2 minutes until soft and pliable.

8

Assemble: Fill tortillas with smoked chicken, spoon over smoked salsa verde, add desired toppings, and serve immediately.
