Preparation

Step 1

Place 2-qt baking dish inside the oven; preheat oven to 500.

Toss tomatillso, poblano, onion, jalapeno, and garlic cloves with oil in a bowl. Transfer to preheated baking dish and roast until tender, 15 minutes.

Pulse vegetables in a food processor with cilantro, 1 Tbsp lime juice, salt, and pepper to blend; if thick, add water as needed.

Whisk 1/2 cup lime juice, honey, minced garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a measuring cup. Pour marinade over chicken in a resealable plastic bag and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes; preheat grill to medium. Remove chicken from marinade and grill to an internal temperature of 165, about 6 minutes per side, brusing with marinade every few minutes. Allow chicken to rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips. Reduce heat to low.

Grill tortillas 1 minute, flip over, and sprinkle with cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
