How do you cook the chicken when your making tacos Sante Fe style?

Question

I'm cooking dinner for my boyfriend tonight and I want to make Sante Fe style tacos. I want to make them with chicken, but I have no cooking experience. I know that I'm supposed to buy boneless chicken, but what kind should I get? And how do I cook it?

1 package JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® Turkey Breast Cutlets
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Answer 2

Mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl, stirring thoroughly. Pour into a shallow baking pan and lay the chicken breasts inches Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the broiler.
After 1 hour, when the chicken has absorbed all the flavors of the marinade, pour in the white wine. Broil the chicken under a medium flame for 8-10 minutes, basting it with the juices to keep it moist.
Transfer the chicken to a platter and slice it at an angle. Garnish each piece with a little of the pan juices, a dollop of Mock Sour Cream or low-fat sour cream, slices of lime, and a scallion firecracker, as well as a dollop of salsa.
