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.
- Add the charred vegetables to a food processor along with the tequila, chili powder, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky. Remove to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve with tortilla chips.

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.
