Time 1h15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tomatillos, husks removed and halved
2 poblano chiles, halved and seeded
1 bunch scallions, trimmed

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tequila
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos, poblanos and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler and cook until well charred, turning once, about 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, remove the skin from the poblanos.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the salsa. This will give your tacos the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the ingredients to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the tacos. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought salsa instead of making your own. However, homemade salsa is always best.
  • These tacos are also great for meal prep. Simply cook the chicken and salsa ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat, just assemble the tacos and enjoy.
