Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 poblano peppers
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1–2 jalapeño peppers (to taste)
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2. Char the poblanos: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and char the whole poblano peppers until slightly blackened. Remove from skillet.
- 3. Cook the chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- 4. Make the salsa: Dice avocados and jalapeños; squeeze lime juice over them to prevent browning. Mix in chopped cilantro.
- 5. Assemble the tacos: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable. Fill each with sliced chicken, charred poblanos, and top with avocado-jalapeño salsa.
- 6. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
