Method

Preparation of Salsa Roja

1

Make the Salsa Roja

In a blender, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking the Meat

2

Grill the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and allow to rest before slicing.

3

Grill the Steak

Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from grill and let it rest before slicing.

Frying the Peppers

4

Fry Poblano Peppers

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil and fry the poblano peppers until they are blistered and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Preparing the Tacos

5

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or a skillet. Layer the grilled chicken and steak slices on each tortilla. Top with fried poblano peppers, chopped green onions, and queso fresco.

6

Serve

Serve the tacos with a side of sour cream and guacamole. Enjoy!
