Chicken Poblano Tacos With Crema Recipe 475

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO CREMA

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.

POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Mix in the poblano peppers, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Squeeze the juice from one lime half over the chicken, and place the lime peel and pulp into the skillet. Cover, and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, cool, and cut chicken into cubes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Gradually stir in the flour and half-and-half. Mix in the cilantro, mushrooms, sour cream, and juice of remaining lime half. Cook and stir 10 minutes, until mushrooms are tender.
• Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with 6 tortillas. Arrange 1/2 the chicken and pepper mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese, and cover with remaining tortillas. Layer with remaining chicken and pepper mixture, and pour the cilantro sauce evenly over the casserole. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

POBLANO AND GROUND PORK TACOS

Steps:

• Mince a few slices of onion to get 1 tablespoon. Add minced onion, tomato, kiwi, juice from 2 lime wedges, 3/4 of the cilantro, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Mix into a salsa.
• Juice 1/4 of the lime into another small bowl; mix in sour cream to make the crema.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and poblano pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pork and Mexican seasoning. Cook until pork is browned throughout, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add chicken stock, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until everything is coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Wrap tortillas in a damp cloth and microwave for 30 seconds. Divide tortillas over plates; spread cream on top. Top tortillas with pork mixture and salsa. Garnish with remaining cilantro.

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

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.
