Ingredients
- 1/8 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1/2 chipotle chile in adobo
- Kosher salt
- 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Cooking spray
- 2 (8-inch) wheat tortillas
- 1/2 pound tomatillos
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
- Chopped onion, cilantro sprigs, and lime wedges for serving
Directions
-
Combine the lime juice, garlic and chipotle chile in a medium nonreactive bowl; season with salt.
-
Add the chicken, toss well to coat, and refrigerate 2 hours.
-
Remove the chicken from the marinade; thread onto 4 (12-inch) skewers lightly misted with cooking spray.
-
Preheat the grill to medium. Mist the tortillas with cooking spray. Add the tortillas to the grill; cook, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes per tortilla.
-
Meanwhile, add the chicken and the whole tomatillos to the grill; cook, turning often, until tomatillos are charred and chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the skewers from the chicken.
-
Coarsely chop the tomatillos and toss with oil and salt to taste.
-
Place toasted tortillas on plates; generously top with romaine, tomatillos, chicken, and queso fresco.
-
Serve with onion, cilantro sprigs, and a lime wedge if desired.
