Chicken Tacos

I decided to go with the Cook’s Illustrated steak taco recipe and just modify it for use with chicken. Happily, the tacos were a great success.

Ingredients

– Cilantro leaves – Garlic – Scallions – Jalapeño chile – Ground cumin – Vegetable oil

Instructions

You start by making a pesto-like herb paste, which includes cilantro, garlic, scallions, a jalapeno, cumin, and some vegetable oil. Put all of that into a food processor.

Step: 1

With the machine running, add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and process until the mixture is fairly smooth.

Step: 2

Step: 3

Remove 2 tablespoons of the herb paste to a bowl. Squeeze in 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and set it aside (this is for use as a taco condiment later).

Step: 4

The rest of the paste is going to go on the chicken, but first, you need to rub some coarse salt on the chicken.
