Author Robyn Webb: "I chose chicken thighs for this taco filling, as the spicy chile sauce pairs better with it than chicken breasts. Feel free to use chicken breasts if you prefer. Chicken is blander in taste than beef, and it benefits greatly from a nice soak in a lime juice-laced spice blend. You can also prepare just the chicken filling (leave out the tortillas) and serve it with a few vegetables on the side for a nice lean, but definitely tasty, meal."
