If you ever want an upgrade from the run of the mill American taco consisting of ground beef and taco seasoning (not that I don't enjoy those), these worked out really well.
I dry rubbed chicken breasts first with cumin and then with a generous amount of paprika. Paprika makes for a really good crust. Pan sear those in a little oil over medium high heat and then slice thinly.
I opened up some jalapenos and took out all the seeds and veins. Then I cut them in to thin strips and sauteed until almost charred. This left them crunchy and tasty with just enough heat left to still be interesting.
Add sliced avocado, tomatoes and crumbled queso fresco. We used warm corn tortillas which seemed to taste authentic with this combination of ingredients
I love charred peppers-- if you can find them in the summer, guajillo peppers are especially delicious charred. They have a smoky semi-spicy flavor. Your tacos look delicious- great photo!
