SARAH'S EASY SHREDDED CHICKEN TACO FILLING



Sarah's Easy Shredded Chicken Taco Filling image

I put this together one day, wanting tacos, but I did not want ground beef. It is fast to make, as no slow cooker is needed. Serve warmed as a substitute for ground beef in tacos, and serve in a taco shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 can (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
2 tsp. GOYA® White Distilled Vinegar
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
31/2 tsp. ancho chili powder
1 tsp. GOYA® Ground Cumin
2 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
1/2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 lbs. bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
GOYA® Adobo with Pepper, to taste
1 pkt. (10 oz.) GOYA® Corn Tortillas, warmed
GOYA® Hot Sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped white onions
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. In medium bowl, mix together tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and sugar. Season with adobo; set aside. 2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with adobo. Cook chicken, turning once, until light golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add reserved tomato sauce mixture to pan; bring to a boil (be careful, the tomato sauce can splatter). Lower heat to medium low. Simmer, covered, until cooked through (thermometer will register 170 degrees F when inserted into thickest part of breast), flipping once, about 20 minutes. 3. Transfer chicken to cutting board; reserve sauce in pan. Remove and discard bones and skin. Using two forks, shred chicken breast. Transfer chicken to skillet with sauce, mixing to combine; continue to cook until sauce reduces and blends into chicken, and mixture begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes more. 4. Transfer chicken mixture to serving bowl. Spoon into warmed corn tortillas. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados and/or onions, if desired. Sprinkle with hot sauce, if desired.
