  1. Chop onion, yellow or red pepper, and jalapeño pepper and set aside.
  2. Prepare salsa and set aside.
  3. Prepare accompaniments and set aside.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high. I prefer using my biggest cast iron skillet because it does a really good job caramelizing the onions and browning the meat.
  5. Add the onion, yellow or red pepper, and jalapeño to the oil. Cook until vegetables are tender and onion is beginning to look golden brown; about 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
  7. Mix in the cooked chicken and spices.
  8. Cook until chicken is heated through.
  9. Serve as per instructions below.

Comments

To assemble a chicken street taco:

Lay steamed tortilla flat on a serving plate.

Distribute meat filling evenly down the center of your tortilla.

Top with fresh salsa and a squirt of lime juice.

Add additional accompaniments to suit your tastes. Do not overfill.

Grasp one side of the tortilla and fold it over the meat and toppings until it reaches the opposite side of the tortilla.

Pick up the taco by grasping the top with one hand and cradling the taco in the palm of your other hand. Eat and enjoy!
