1: To make pickled red onions, heat apple cider vinegar, water, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
2: Add sliced onions and peppercorns to a mason jar or airtight container.
3: Allow the vinegar mixture to cool slightly then pour over the red onions. Cover and allow to pickle for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
4: To make chicken, combine taco seasoning and 3 tbsp olive oil in a bowl and mix to create a marinade.
5: Add chicken to the bowl and stir until evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes up to an hour.
6: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir fry until browned and spices are charred, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
7: For the avocado salsa verde, combine avocados, jalapeno, onion, lime juice, ½ tsp salt, tomatillos and ¼ cup cilantro in a blender and blend until smooth.
8: Char the tortillas on a skillet over high heat, then layer with chicken, salsa verde, pickled onions, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
