Savory Shredded Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans Goya Tomato Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Goya White Distilled Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Goya Minced Garlic
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon Goya Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Goya Oregano Leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch Goya Adobo with Pepper, to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) package Goya Corn Tortillas, warmed
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 dash Goya Hot Sauce
Instructions
1
Combine the tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Add the Adobo seasoning to taste and set the mixture aside for now.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with Adobo seasoning to enhance its flavor. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches a light golden brown color. Be cautious when adding the tomato sauce mixture to the pan, as it can splatter and make a mess.
3
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, covered, until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the breast. This should take around 20 minutes, flipping the chicken once during cooking.
4
Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and reserve the sauce in the pan. Remove any bones or skin from the chicken, then use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
5
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet with the sauce and mix everything together. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and blend into the chicken, and the mixture to caramelize.
6
Transfer the chicken mixture to a serving bowl and spoon it into warmed corn tortillas. Garnish with your choice of lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and/or onions, if desired. If you like a little heat, sprinkle some hot sauce on top as well.
