Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a large bowl and add all of the spices, olive oil, garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the chicken. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and set aside.

Make the Sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients together and whisk well until soft and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add more warm water. Season to taste with salt.
Chop all vegetables green and refrigerate until ready to assemble the tacos.
