HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

02

Add cubed chicken to the skillet and season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

03

Add diced poblano peppers to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the poblanos are softened.

04

Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream and milk until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes. Do not boil.

05

Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions, either in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrapped in a damp paper towel and microwaved for 30-60 seconds.

06

Spoon the creamy chicken and poblano mixture into the warm tortillas and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, char the poblano peppers directly over a gas flame or under a broiler until the skin is blackened, then peel and dice them before adding to the skillet. This adds a deeper smoky note.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, slightly healthier option. Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a richer flavor. If you prefer more heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper with the other seasonings.
