Pablano Chicken Tacos & Cucumber Salad

These are a great option for those who like a little spice. Just remember to wash your hands after handling anything hotter than a bell pepper! I prefer cilantro, but any garnish will do. The cucumber salad is very simple and very good for a warm summer lunch or a side at dinner.
