Main Filling

Method

Prepare the Chipotle Crema

  1. 1

    Make the Chipotle Crema

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the Pico de Gallo

  1. 2

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a separate bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently and set aside for flavors to combine.

Cook the Vegetables and Assemble

  1. 3

    Fry the Poblano Peppers and Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the sliced poblano peppers and onions. Cook until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In another skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Chicken Philly

    On each warm tortilla, layer shredded grilled chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, sautéed poblano peppers, and onion strings. Drizzle with chipotle crema and top with pico de gallo.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas and serve immediately, with extra chipotle crema on the side if desired.
