HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

Cut the Peppers and Shallot – Remove the seeds from the poblano pepper and cut it into strips.

Next, cut the shallot or a small onion into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

Then remove the stem and seeds from the Serrano pepper and slice it widthwise.

Set the cut vegetables aside for a moment.

Cutting the Chicken – Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.

Cook the Peppers, Shallot and Chicken:

Heat a large skillet on medium heat,

…add olive oil,

…poblano peppers, and shallot (or onion).

Stir the poblano peppers and shallots together in the olive oil.

Move the vegetables over to the sides of the pan to make room in the middle for the chicken.

In the middle of the pan, add the chicken…

…and Serrano pepper.

Then add granulated garlic…

and pepper.

Next,

Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, transfer the ingredients to a plate or bowl and set aside.

Make the Soft Tacos:

Slice tomatoes and thinly slice green cabbage.

Warm the Corn Tortillas – On a medium size microwavable plate, place the corn tortillas and warm them up in the microwave just long enough to make them soft (about 25 seconds).

Right after removing them from the microwave, turn them over so the bottom side doesn’t get wet from the steam.

Serve while the…
