How to Make Shredded Chicken And Tomatillo Tacos With Queso Fresco
- **Char the Tomatillos (optional but recommended):** Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill tomatillos and serrano peppers for 2-3 minutes per side, until slightly charred and softened. Alternatively, sauté in olive oil in a hot skillet until softened and slightly charred.
- **Blend the Tomatillo Sauce:** Combine charred tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and honey in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- **Simmer the Sauce:** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the tomatillo mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- **Add the Chicken:** Add the shredded chicken to the simmering sauce and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
- **Warm the Tortillas:** Lightly dampen the tortillas with water. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grill or cook the tortillas for about 20 seconds per side, until warm and slightly softened.
- **Assemble the Tacos:** Spoon the chicken and tomatillo mixture into the warm tortillas.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Top with extra cilantro and crumbled queso fresco. Serve immediately and enjoy!
