Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 medium white onion, minced
- 1/2 lb chicken breast, halved lengthwise
- Kosher salt
- 3-4 tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded muenster cheese
- 1 cup mixed fresh parsley and cilantro, chopped
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno, garlic, thyme and half of the onion. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken, 1 tsp salt and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook until chicken is tender, about 6 minutes.
-
Remove the chicken to a plate. Transfer the cooking liquid and vegetables to a blender; add the tomatoes and allspice and puree with the lid ajar. Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the tomato mixture and cook until slightly reduced, 6 minutes. Pour into a baking dish.
-
Brush the tortillas with olive oil and put on a baking sheet; bake 5 minutes. Shred the chicken. Top each tortilla with chicken and cheese, then roll up and arrange in the baking dish, seam-side down, spooning some sauce on top. Bake until the cheese melts, 4 minutes.
-
Toss the herbs, remaining onion, and salt to taste. Sprinkle on top.
