Chopped Chicken Thigh Tacos

with Poblano Pepper, Green Salsa, and Monterey Jack Cheese

We’re going green in this taco recipe with a tomatillo-based salsa. What’s a tomatillo, you ask? It’s a vegetable that looks like a green tomato but has a tart, fruity, and slightly herbal flavor. Used in Mexican cuisine, it brings a pop of acidity wherever you put it—certainly on the pieces chicken thigh and poblano pepper inside the tortillas here. Prepared to be hit by deliciousness when you reach in for a bite.

Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Core and seed poblano, then cut into ½-inch squares. Zest 1 tsp zest from lime, then cut into quarters. Cut chicken into ½-inch pieces.

Cook Chicken
2

Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Cook Poblano
3

Add poblano to pan with chicken. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and poblano is softened, about 5 minutes more.

Combine Salsa
4

Meanwhile, core, halve, and dice tomato. Place in a medium bowl and set aside. Once chicken and poblano are done cooking, stir 2 TBSP salsa into pan. Add remaining salsa to bowl with tomato and stir to combine.

Warm Tortillas and Make Crema
5

Wrap tortillas in a lightly dampened paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-45 seconds. In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, lime zest, and 1 tsp lime juice.

Assemble and Serve
6

Divide chicken and poblano mixture between tortillas. Spoon salsa and crema over top. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve any remaining lime quarters on the side for squeezing over.
