Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    Soak guajillo chiles in hot water for 15 minutes until soft. Blend the chiles with honey, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Coat the chicken breast in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine shredded white cabbage, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    Chop the tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, and mix them together in a bowl. Season with salt and lime juice to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side. Layer the chicken, melted Oaxacan and Chihuahua cheese, slaw, and pico de gallo in each tortilla.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
