Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the tortillas for 30-60 seconds on each side, until edges are browned (no oil needed). prep
- Stack the toasted tortillas on a plate and cover with foil or an upside-down bowl to keep them warm. prep
- Lower the heat to medium, add the cooking oil, and swirl to coat the skillet. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is fully cooked (165ºF internal temperature). Transfer to a cutting board to cool. prep
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the green chile sauce. Add the diced green chiles (with liquid) to a blender and purée until smooth. mix
