For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with the lime juice immediately after dicing. Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
