Peruvian-Style Chicken Tacos

You might not expect to find dried plums, potatoes and pimiento-stuffed green olives in a taco—unless it's a Peruvian-style taco, like these.

Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 potato, peeled and finely chopped
• ¼ cup snipped pitted dried plums
• ¼ cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
• 12 6- to 7- inch corn or flour tortillas
• 4–6 ounces Cotija or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken and onion. Cook, stirring to break up  any pieces, until chicken is no longer pink. Drain, if needed. Add coriander, cumin and salt; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Add undrained tomatoes, potato, plums and olives. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Uncover; cook 5 minutes more or until most of the liquid has evaporated. 
2. Wrap tortillas in foil; bake for 15 minutes or until heated. To assemble, place ⅓ cup chicken mixture in center of each tortilla; top with cheese. Fold tortillas in half to serve.
