Recipe Collection: Simple Chicken Tacos

admin March 30, 2013

Written by Katie Stanley and>

Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines. I eat it several times a week; of course, that might have something to do with living in Mexico. Needless to say, I love it!

The foods of Mexico tend to be based on frugal, basic, easy-to-prepare foods. Sure, there are your elaborate, expensive dishes, but the everyday food of Mexico is filling, delicious, and perfect for the busy household.

When I want a filling and tasty meal that is ready in less than 30 minutes, chicken tacos are my go-to. They use leftover chicken.

Simple Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. shredded chicken
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin
  • 3 tbsp. lard, tallow, or olive oil
  • 10 corn tortillas (or soaked tortillas)

Directions:

Step 1: Over medium heat, saute the onion in the fat of choice. Sprinkle with the salt. Once they are almost soft, add the garlic. Cook for two minutes.

Step 2: Add the chicken, tomatoes, and cumin to the pan. Cook for about five minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked, and the chicken is heated.

Step 3: While the filling for the tacos is cooking. Bring a grill or saute pan to medium heat. Warm one tortilla (or as many as your pan/grill can fit) at a time. Warm for about 30 seconds on both sides.

Step 4: Place tortillas between a few layers of towels to keep warm.

To serve: Divide the filling between the tortillas. Serve with whatever sides and garnishes you see fit.
