It has been a couple of weeks since my last attempt, so I pulled out my Mexican Everyday cookbook again this week to make another go at it. This time I made some green chile chicken soft tacos. Essentially, store bought corn tortillas filled with garlic lime chicken, roasted poblano chiles, and onion. We topped them with some queso fresco and some salsa as well. (Rick suggested making tomatillo salsa to top with, I wasn't that ambitious this time).
They turned out pretty tasty. The recipe made enough for like 12 small tacos which fed three people. They were a little spicy, but not too much. The chicken definitely had some nice flavor...I wasn't sure how it would be with just salt, pepper, lime juice, and garlic, but the chicken was definitely flavorful. The flavor was almost more fajita like with the chicken, onion, and chiles.
We deemed it another success. It was a nice change from the usual ground beef tacos around here. While shopping for the poblanos, I noticed that walmart does have tomatillos, which opens up several of the other recipes in this cookbook. The corn tortillas this time were way better (in my opinion) than the ones I bought another time...I tried to pick the most mexican looking packaging, and it seemed to work :) (*There's a little man with a mustache and a sombrero on the front of the package...though they're actually from Texas, but that's pretty close to Mexico, right?)
