Poblano and Potato Chicken Tacos

November 29, 2015

Poblano and Potato Chicken Tacos, A tasty and different way to mix up taco night!

Poblano and Potato Chicken Fajitas

If you are looking for a holiday recipe, this is not the place today. You won’t find any fancy leftover turkey recipes here. I am not a leftover type of gal. I am more a eat turkey once and then move on person. But tacos? I can always get down with those! 

Poblano and Potato Chicken Fajitas

Do you love Mexican food? It is by far my daughter’s favorite food. She loves to go out for Mexican and we love it too. Our local Mexican joint is so good. The chips are fantastic, the service is fast, and the food is always out of this world. One of our favorite things to order are the chile poblanos. They are a baked poblano pepper stuffed with mashed up potatoes mixed with some hot chili peppers. They are fantastic and I have been wanting to recreate a version at home of these!

Poblano and Potato Chicken Fajitas

I was grocery shopping last week and I saw some beautiful poblanos on sale and knew it was time to finally tackle my at home version of the stuffed poblano. I wanted to make a more kid friendly version because I knew that my daughter, who is a great eater, would not be all that thrilled about a big green pepper stuffed with mooshy potatoes. Now tacos and fajitas, she can get down with that idea, so I decided to go that route.

Poblano and Potato Chicken Fajitas

I didn’t know how filling potatoes and peppers would be in a fajita, so I added chicken, but feel free to leave it out to keep these vegetarian. They were definitely very filling and I would love to try them next time with portabella mushrooms instead of the chicken. So here’s what’s great about these. One Pan! Everyone loves one pan dinners right? I cooked the potatoes, onions, and potatoes first, then added in the chicken to the same big skillet. The seasonings all got added to that pan and out emerged the best fajitas I have ever had. Seriously, these are amazing. I know it sounds like a weird combination, but go with me on this one, they are really delicious!
