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.
