Chicken Tacos

Chicken Tacos

Ingredients -

8 small (taco size) flour tortillas
2 lbs cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 jalapeno or Serrano pepper, diced (use more or less according to taste)
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1 large green pepper, sliced into thin strips
2 small white or yellow onions; one diced, one cut into thin strips
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
¼ cup cotija cheese, grated (grated Romano may be substituted if cotija is unavailable)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
Salt and black pepper, to taste
A little olive or vegetable oil for sautéing
Lime wedges and salsa, for serving

Preparation:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the green pepper, jalapeno or Serrano pepper and onion until tender, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the chicken and tomatoes, oregano and cumin and cook until the chicken is heated through, another 4-5 minutes and remove from heat.

Taste and season with salt and black pepper if needed. Warm the tortillas (over the flame of a gas stove or in the microwave if you have an electric stove) and fill each with the chicken mixture and top with a little chopped cilantro, diced onion, and cotija cheese.

Serve with salsa and lime wedges.
