SKILL LEVEL :
Easy and quickEasy weeknight dinner
These tacos are an easy solution to a weeknight dinner. They are perfect if you have leftover chicken, but you can also buy a grocery store chicken and shred it for the tacos. You can make the 2-ingredient Minted tomatillo salsa in advance or throw it together in about 20 minutes. Then it is just a matter of slicing the ingredients, heating the tortillas and letting everyone assemble their own.
Minted tomatillo sauce
The minted tomatillo sauce takes a total of 20 minutes to make, and most of that is roasting time. This sauce is a variation on a recipe found in The New Greenmarket Cookbook, by Gabrielle Langholtz. The key is to use plenty of fresh mint for this bright and refreshing salsa.
