These are some seriously good chicken tacos. Last Spring, after returning to work and being a bit frantic juggling life with baby, having several family emergencies, including out of town travel, these tacos became my happy place. A dear friend saw our little family floundering and stepped in to cook us one of the best dinners I have ever had. These chicken tacos, complete with all the fixings and warm straight from her oven corn tortillas. I will always be greatful for her servant's heart when I indulge in my new favorite meal. So after begging for the recipe and tweaking it a bit to fit our family, per her recommendations, here it is:
Directions:
- mix together tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and sugar.
- heat oil in large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat
- once the oil is nice and hot, add the whole chicken breasts, cooking until light golden brown on both sides
- add the tomato sauce mix from the first step to pan and bring to a boil
- lower heat, cover, and simmer, about 20 minutes or until until cooked through. if the sauce does not cover the chicken breasts, flip once mid way through
- transfer chicken to cutting board and shred
- transfer chicken back to pan, mixing to combine
- continue to cook while you prep the toppings, about 10 minutes
- be sure to serve in warm corn totillas, my favorite!
Oh, I'm so glad you love this, too! Those first days with our little ones were crazy times... but some of the best! ;)
