Amazing "Date Night" Chicken Tacos

Start by heating butter over Medium heat in a large (deep) frying pan OR dutch Oven. Sautee the onions until almost carmelized (just a hint of color). Then add the fresh chicken and cook until the chicken loses it's pink color and starts to SLIGHTLY brown..about 4-5 mins. (dont overcook or chicken will not end up tender)

Next add your water, dry spices and the jar of Pace Picante sauce (reserving the 1/3 c. for garnish later :) turn heat up to meadium/high, raising to a slow boil, and cook for about 45 mins (Cover with lid to reduce evaporation of liquid!). Check & Stir frequently and add small amounts of water if needed (The chicken will be "stewing" and should have ALOT of liquid, so adjust your heat so that it doesnt dry out/scorch).

By this time, most of the liquid should be absorbed, but chicken mixture should be "saucey". Take 2 forks and begin to Shred all the chicken until it's the consistency you like (I'm a very "OCD" cook, so I Do remove the little tendon, A.K.A "The Wiggly" *Yuck* in the tenderloin before shredding it! lol). Stewing the chicken for so long creates a great soft/moist texture and really enfuses the meat with all those Wonderful Flavors! Of course add a pinch of any of the dry seasonings to suit your personal taste :) Lastly, add the(1)tbl of butter to give the "sauce" a nice richness and finishing touch :)

Start assembeling your tacos with a (warmed)tortilla shell filled with the stewed chicken, lettuce, fresh cilantro, cheese, tomatoes, **the 1/3 c. reserved Picante, etc. These are Fabulous with a side of refried beans and yellow (Saffron)rice. You'll Never miss going out to that favorite Mexican restaurant again lol Enjoy !

**NOTE**: warm your tortillas in the microwave by taking them out of the plastic bag and wrapping them in damp paper towels on full power for about 1 min. Keep them wrapped up to prevent drying them out and warm when everyone comes back for 2nds...because they will! :)
