MARIA'S TACO XPRESS POLLO GUISADO
I got this from Guy Fieri's cookbook, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Maria's Taco Xpress is a South Austin institution and it's fast food, Texas style. The locals rave about the food. Guy says the pollo guisado is a little bit sweet, spicy, tender, and crazy good!

Steps:
- Put the chicken in a saucepan with salted water to just cover. Bring to a simmer and cook until just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Let cool, then shred the chicken.
- Place the tomatoes, chipotle sauce, cumin, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoons pepper, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1 cup water in a blender. Puree until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until the onion is golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the chipotle mixture and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and simmer unil the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pollo guisado in crisp taco shells with shredded lettuce, diced tomato and shredded Cheddar cheese. Enjoy!

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I made this pollo guisado with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was firm and flavorful, and the sauce was just as delicious as it is with chicken. I will definitely be making this dish again.

[email protected]I made this pollo guisado in my slow cooker and it was so easy! I just threw all the ingredients in and let it cook on low for 8 hours. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
