This is another recipe I found in an old Sunset Magazine, and I just tried it a few days ago. It is very good -- easy to make and most delicious! My family really liked it.
Chicken Chili Verde Tacos
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.

Ingredients
- 3 cups prepared shredded cabbage
- 1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro
- 1 cup green-chili salsa
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salad oil
- 1 onion (1/2 lb.), slivered lengthwise
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 reduced-fat or regular flour tortillas (7 to 8 in.)
Preparation
- 1. Combine cabbage, cilantro, and salsa in a serving dish; set aside.
