To assemble these tacos, you'll need a grilled chicken. You can use leftovers or buy it ready-made at the supermarket. All that's left to do is make the sauce, shred the chicken, and combine the two ingredients to create a delicious taco filling. It takes less than half an hour, and the sauce is incredibly rich and complex in flavor. It's made with tomatillos and serrano peppers, which are charred beforehand, giving the sauce a unique, smoky flavor. A spoonful of honey perfectly balances the serrano's heat. Assemble the tacos, top with queso fresco, and enjoy this wonderful combination of flavors while cozying up in front of the TV.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups shredded grilled chicken
• 8 blue corn tortillas

• Olive oil
