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.

GUS'S INCREDIBLE CHICKEN TACO FILLING



Gus's Incredible Chicken Taco Filling image

This is a recipe that I invented about fifteen years ago and has been a favorite among my family and friends ever since. I make this in LARGE amounts, since it goes quickly and can be used in a variety of ways. You can fill toasted taco shells with this then top with lettuce, fresh tomato, cheese, sour cream and or guacamole. I like to put this on tostada shells, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on it, microwave to melt the cheese and then top with sour cream, quacamole and jalapeno slices. You can also do that with the round nacho chips. Another suggestion is to wilt corn tortilla in a skillet with a bit of oil, drain them on paper towels and place some of the filling into them, roll them up and cover with a white cheese and sour cream sauce and garnish with jalapeno slices. Depending on how you use it, this should serve between 6 to 10 people.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole large chicken, boiled and boned
1 (16 ounce) jar of pickled mild banana wax peppers
1 large bell pepper
1 large yellow onion
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon Gebhardt® Chili powder
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Boil and bone the chicken, reserve two cups of the broth. Finely chop the chicken and set aside. I use a food processor to do this. Take all the vegetable and mince or chop in a food processor. Sautee the minced peppers, onion, garlic and cumin until everything is nice and tender, then add the canned tomato. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the chicken, stirring well to mix evenly with the veggies. Add one cup of broth and simmer for about ten minutes to let the flavors mix. If it gets too dry, add the second cup of broth. Once it is heated, add the chili powder, stir in well, remove from heat and you are ready to serve in whatever way you choose.
  • If you leave out the MILD banana wax peppers or the chili powder, you will lose 99 percent of the flavor.NEVER overcook chili powder or it will get bitter. Gebhardt's is a very mild chili powder, so if you can't find it, try to substitute with the mildest you can find.

MICHAEL' TACOS WITH CHICKEN TACO FILLING



MICHAEL' TACOS WITH CHICKEN TACO FILLING image

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the chicken:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, minced
5 yellow onions minced
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into 1/2-inch chunks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 serrano chiles, sliced thin
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 to 5 cups chicken stock or water
For the tacos:
2 red onions, sliced thin
1 head iceberg lettuce, sliced thin
12 radishes, sliced thin
6 small tomatoes, diced
1 pint sour cream
2 bunches cilantro, leaves roughly chopped
1 (15-ounce) can pinto or black beans, drained and rinsed
1 to 2 packages corn or flour tortillas (enough for 6 to 8 medium size tacos)

Steps:

  • Directions Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and pour in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft and nicely caramelized, about 10 to 12 minutes. In the meantime, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and toss to coat. Heat another large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the chicken until it is lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Once the onion mixture is caramelized and softened, add the serranos, paprikas, cumin, and oregano. When the chicken is done, transfer it to the pan with the onions. Pour in the broth or water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and delicious, approximately 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. To serve the tacos: Put the toppings and chicken filling in bowls and allow guests to build their own tacos.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the kitchen.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your tacos the best flavor. If you can, try to buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or grocery store.
  • Season your chicken well: The chicken is the main ingredient in these tacos, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to make sure it's cooked through before you serve it.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make tacos special. Try a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
  • Serve immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they're made. The tortillas will start to get soggy if you wait too long.

Michael's Tacos with Chicken Taco Filling are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy.
