From the Test Kitchen

Warm flour tortillas are perfect for wrapping around a filling of tender chicken and juicy tomatoes, drizzled with our own vibrant tomatillo-poblano sauce. Crunchy cabbage tossed in a creamy, spicy dressing sweetened with a touch of honey rounds out this quick-cooking meal.

Prepare the tomatoes:
1 Prepare the tomatoes:

Remove the honey and the tomatillo-poblano sauce from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. If you prefer to use an oven to warm the tortillas instead of a microwave, preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Depending on their size, halve or quarter the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. 

Make the slaw:
2 Make the slaw:

In a large bowl, combine the chipotle mayonnaise and honey (kneading the packet before opening). Add the cabbage. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. 

Cook the chicken:
3 Cook the chicken:

While the slaw marinates, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Turn off the heat. 

Warm the tortillas:
4 Warm the tortillas:

While the chicken cooks, if using the microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through. If using the oven, wrap the tortillas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer the warmed tortillas to a work surface and carefully unwrap. 

Make the tacos & serve your dish:
5 Make the tacos & serve your dish:

Assemble the tacos using the warmed tortillas, cooked chicken, seasoned tomatoes, tomatillo-poblano sauce, and cheese. Serve the tacos with the slaw on the side. Enjoy!
