This is very basic. My husband isn't a fan of veggies in things, so if you add onions and peppers even better! It can get very spicy so this isn't a dish for bland food lovers - even the 'mild' ways to cook it have a bite.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag; add chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and 1/2 of the beer. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; pour chicken and marinade into the hot oil. Cook and stir, adding the remaining beer, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Shred chicken in the skillet using 2 forks and serve in corn tortillas.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the chipotle sauce was delicious.

Easy to follow recipe, and the tacos turned out great! I used a store-bought chipotle sauce, and it worked perfectly.

These tacos were a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the chipotle sauce added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making these again.
