These super spicy chicken tacos come together quickly but pack a serious punch. The key is layering heat through multiple sources - the marinated chicken, the fresh salsa, and additional hot sauce. If you're sensitive to spice, you can adjust by reducing the amount of hot peppers, but for true heat lovers, this recipe delivers authentic Mexican fire.

For an even more intense experience, try adding a pinch of ghost pepper flakes to the marinade or salsa - but proceed with extreme caution! Remember that the fat in the avocado and sour cream helps neutralize capsaicin, the compound that makes peppers hot, so don't skip these cooling elements.
