Classic Chipotle Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
1
Put chicken into a zip-top bag; add the spicy chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and half of the beer. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal it tightly. Refrigerate, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavors for at least an hour.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; carefully pour the chicken and marinade into the hot oil. Stir constantly, adding the remaining beer as it simmers, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, typically taking 20 to 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3
Shred the cooked chicken with two forks in the skillet and serve it within warm corn tortillas.
