Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb. Chicken Breast
2 Limes (juiced)
1/4 cup Oil
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
2 Poblano Peppers
1 cup Sour Cream or Mexican Crema
1/2 cup Cilantro (tightly packed)
1 Lime (juiced)
1 teaspoon Salt
6-12 Corn Tortillas
2 Avocados
8 oz Queso Fresco Cheese
Cilantro
Red Onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in ziploc bag or place in bowl. Add lime juice, oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and brown sugar. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. 2-4 hours is ideal.
  • Once the chicken is marinated, heat grill over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Check to make sure chicken is no longer pink. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • While chicken is cooking, place poblano chilies on the grill. Cook until softened and the skin starts to bubble. Remove from grill and using a fork, remove the outer skin from the poblano.
  • Place poblano chilies, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in blender or food processor. Blend until creamy.
  • Top warmed corn tortillas with sliced chicken, sliced avocado, queso fresco cheese, cilantro (optional), and drizzle with roasted poblano crema.

CHICKEN & POBLANO TACOS WITH CREMA RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Chicken & Poblano Tacos with Crema Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by mahto

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 poblano chiles
4 boneless chicken thighs with skin, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
12 warm corn tortillas
Mexican crema or sour cream
Romaine lettuce
White onion, chopped
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Roast the poblanos directly over a gas flame or under a preheated broiler, turning, until charred all over. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 15 minutes. Peel, seed and stem the chiles, then cut them into 1/4-inch strips. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the chicken all over with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until the skin is crisp and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a carving board and cut into 1/2-inch strips. In a medium bowl, toss the poblano strips with the chicken and cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Serve the chicken-poblano filling in the warm tortillas with the crema, lettuce, onion and lime wedges.
