1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions:
In a large bowl, baking dish or freezer bag, add all the ingredients for the marinade. Mix together to fully combine.
Add chicken thighs to marinade and toss together to coat. Cover chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet with tongs and cook 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked through. Discard the used marinade.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and serve in warm tortillas with salsa and cheese.
