Ingredients

  • 8 rounds of Flatbread
  • 2 lb chicken breast cut into thin strips
  • Chicken seasoning recipe to follow
  • 2 poblano peppers cut into strips
  • 1 Red Onion thinly sliced (Bonus points if you use Pickled Red Onions)
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro chopped
  • Lime cut into eighths
  • Salsa
  • Vegetable oil

Chicken Seasoning

  • Chicken Seasoning:
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Cumin
  • 1 ½ tablespoon ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Cut chicken breasts into thin strips and toss with seasoning until well coated.
  • Cook chicken in a skillet with a swirl of oil till cooked through.
  • At the same time cook poblano strips in a separate skillet with oil on medium high heat till slightly charred.
  • If you have a gas stove, lightly toast each piece of flatbread on each side over the burners till right before it starts charring. If using an electric stovetop, toast the flatbread in a dry skillet on medium heat the same way.
  • Assemble the sandwich by spreading sour cream onto the inside of half of the flatbread, then add onion, poblano, chicken and cilantro. Top with salsa and a squeeze of lime and fold in half.
