Charring tomatoes in a hot, dry skillet makes them smoky
and flavorful; in combination with fresh herbs and spices,
they elevate this dish from "everyday" to "ta-da!" Serve
the tacos with sour cream.
Heat a medium skillet over high heat until very hot. Add
tomatoes and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until
charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate
to cool slightly. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise;
squeeze to discard seeds. Remove cores and chop the
remaining pulp and skin.
Cut chicken into 1" chunks; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Add 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and heat over high heat
until very hot. Add the chicken and cook, stirring
occasionally, until it is browned and no longer pink in
the middle, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon
oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2
minutes. Add garlic and jalape├▒o and cook, stirring, until
fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add lime juice, the chicken
and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2
minutes. Stir in cilantro and scallions. Divide the
chicken mixture among tortillas. Serve with lime wedges.
* Wrap tortillas in barely damp paper towels and microwave
on High for 30 to 45 seconds.
