Authentic Spicy Chicken Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 corn tortillas
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat and cut into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 cup prepared hot salsa, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
sliced scallion
queso fresco
chopped fresh tomato
reduced-fat sour cream, for garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F Wrap tortillas in foil and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, season chicken with salt. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Add chicken and cook, stirring until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Add onion and cook, stirring, until they start to brown around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bell pepper, garlic, jalapeno and cumin. Cook, stirring, until peppers are bright green but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Stir in salsa and reserved chicken. Cook, stirring, until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Spoon into warmed tortillas and garnish with scallions, queso fresco, tomatoes and sour cream.
