  • Miller’s Banana Pepper Sauce
  • 2 small sweet onions, sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers, grilled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

For the Spice Rub:

  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss chicken with sesame oil and all the spices for the rub, until the chicken is evenly coated in the seasoning.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  3. Meanwhile, grill the peppers and scrape the charred skin off.
  4. Slice the peppers, discarding the seeds, and set aside.
  5. Heat a large cast-iron pan, add the sliced onion, and sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Let the onions cook down until they become translucent and tender. Add the sliced peppers, toss together, then set aside.
  7. In the same pan, place the marinated chicken and grill to achieve a nice golden color.
  8. Add the peppers and onions back in and toss with the chicken.
  9. In a separate cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil. Dip the top of the tortilla shell in the chicken broth and then in the pan.

  11. Fold over and remove from the pan once golden.
  12. Garnish with the fresh parsley and scallions. Serve alongside Miller's Banana Pepper Sauce. Enjoy!
