    Ingredients

    • 1 pound chicken breast

    • 2 poblano peppers

    • 1 teaspoon chili powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    • 8 corn tortillas

    • 1 cup shredded lettuce

    • 1 cup diced tomatoes

    • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1/4 cup sour cream

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, aiming for uniform pieces for even cooking later on.
    • In a bowl, mix chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; then coat chicken strips thoroughly.
    • Place seasoned chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure they cook evenly.
    • Roast chicken in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, turning halfway, until completely cooked through.
    • While chicken cooks, slice poblano peppers into thin strips, removing seeds to reduce spiciness if desired.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced poblano peppers until crispy and slightly charred.
    • Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas burner, turning frequently for even heating.
    • Assemble tacos by filling each warmed tortilla with roasted chicken, crispy poblano slices, lettuce, and tomato.
    • Top each taco with grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
