  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season all over with smoked paprika and a pinch of pepper.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.

    Add chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken browns and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Coarsely chop, if desired.

    While chicken cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/4" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

  3. 3

    Cook Vegetables and Make Sauce

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add onion to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender and lightly browned, 4-6 minutes.

    Add poblano and chipotle seasoning (to taste) and stir occasionally until fragrant and poblano starts to soften, 2-3 minutes.

    Add tomato puree and stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in salsa (to taste) and 2 Tbsp. water until combined. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir in chicken until coated and warmed through, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner.

    Heat Tortillas and Finish Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with chicken-vegetable mixture and garnishing with guacamole and cheese. Bon appétit!
