Peruvian-Style Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1
    pound uncooked ground chicken
  • 1/2
    cup chopped onion
  • 2
    teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2
    teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1
    potato, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/4
    cup snipped pitted dried plums
  • 1/4
    cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
  • 12
    6 - 7 inch corn or flour tortillas
  • 4 - 6
    ounces Cotija or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook chicken and onion until chicken is no longer pink; stir to break up pieces. Drain off fat, if necessary. Add coriander, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add undrained tomatoes, potato, plums, and olives. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Uncover; cook 5 minutes more or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Wrap tortillas in foil; bake for 15 minutes or until heated. To assemble, place 1/3 cup chicken mixture in center of each tortilla; top with cheese. Sprinkle with additional chopped onion and snipped fresh cilantro. Fold tortillas in half. Makes 12 tacos (4 servings).

Really yummy and unique. May seem weird at first glance but the ingredients go really well together. Pretty easy to make too.
