Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Season the grilled chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Shred the chicken using two forks or chop it finely.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the poblano peppers and onion. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    Combine diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Chipotle Crema

    In a small bowl, mix sour cream with chipotle adobo sauce until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Fry the Poblano and Onion

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced poblano peppers and onions, frying until they are crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 6

    Heat the Tortillas

    In the same skillet, warm the flour tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Remove from heat.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer shredded chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, crispy fried poblano and onion strings, and pico de gallo. Drizzle with chipotle crema.
