Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub the halved chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding.

  2. 2

    Make the Tomatillo Salsa

    In a blender, combine the quartered tomatillos, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Shred the roasted chicken and fill each tortilla with the chicken and a generous spoonful of tomatillo salsa. Serve immediately.
