Chicken Chili Verde Tacos

Directions

1. Combine cabbage, cilantro, and salsa in a serving dish; set aside.
2. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, stir oil, onion, and garlic for 2 min. Increase heat to high, add in chicken, and stir often till meat is no longer pink in center, 4 to 6 min. Add in cumin and oregano; stir for 15 seconds. Spoon into a serving dish.
3. Wrap tortillas in a cloth towel and cook in a microwave oven on full power (100 percent) till warm, about 1 1/2 min. At the table, spoon the cabbage and chicken mixtures into the tortillas.
4. This recipe yields 4 servings.
5. Comments: Cheryl Wong of Marina, California, takes a near-instant route to achieve the flavors of chili verde. Instead of slowly simmering the chicken in a sauce, she dresses shredded cabbage with purchased green-chili salsa, adds the quickly cooked chicken, then wraps the works in flour tortillas.
