How to Make Green Chile Chicken Tacos!
- I purchase precooked chickens from the deli, so mucgh easier to pull apart and dice but you can cook your own. You can get about 3 cups per cooked chicken for the recipe.
- Heat a skillet with just 2 tbs of oil and one pat of butter heat on medium high heat.
- In the meantime dice an onion, mince three garlic cloves.
- Add the onion and garlic to the hot skillet ( I use cast iron). Stir as needed until it begins to brown.
- Dice chicken to edible bites for taco shells
- Add the can of geen chile sauce to the onion and garlic and let it simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors mingle. At this time you can add a can of diced green chiles or 1/3 cup of white rice (cooked)Allow to cook through about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken and stir. Turn on low and cover allow the mix to simmer about 5 minutes, stir and recover. Turn the heat off at this time, but keep covered for the flavors to meld, I rarely add salt but at this point do so, since the chicke was precooked there usually is enough salt already.
- Keep your chicken tacos warm while you prepare the toppings and taco shells. I setup buffet style and serve with black beans, rice and green onion. Oh so delish!!!
