SHREDDED CHICKEN FOR TACOS



Shredded Chicken for Tacos image

Just about any food that fits on a tortilla has found its way into some type of taco, but this shredded chicken remains an easy weeknight staple. Poached in a simple broth of onion, garlic and spices, the chicken stays moist and is infused with flavor. You could opt for boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts; add some fresh cilantro or sliced jalapeño to the liquid; use a glug of light beer, if you have some on hand. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces and it's ready to be tucked into a taco with little more than some pico de gallo. You could freeze the resulting stock for future use or even boil it until thickened to drizzle it over the meat. The rules here are far from ironclad, but the fail-proof method guarantees an easy building block for tacos and beyond.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, project, appetizer, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless beef chuck, pork shoulder, lamb shoulder or chicken (thigh) meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 dried ancho chiles, seeds and stems removed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne

Steps:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the cayenne. Add water to cover, and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. Partly cover, and adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles steadily; cook until the meat is very tender, 1 to 2 hours
  • Transfer the meat to a bowl, and let it cool, then shred it with your fingers. Discard the bay leaves, and transfer the garlic, onion and chiles to a blender along with a splash of the cooking liquid. Blend until smooth. Add the sauce to the meat, and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a little cayenne if you want it spicier; you may want to overseason the meat slightly if you're using it as a filling. Use, or store in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a few months.
