Shredded Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb. Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tsp. Cooking oil
- ½ Yellow onion, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. Ground cumin
- 1 tsp. Dried oregano
- 1 tsp. Chili powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ C. Salsa
- Tortillas and Toppings of choice for serving
Instructions
Place chicken in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Use the kitchen thermometer to check as overcooked chicken will be dry.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or bowl and shred it with 2 forks.
In a skillet, heat oil and sauté the onion until it’s soft and translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1 more minute. Add salsa, and just mix it in (if necessary, you can add a splash of water) and let it warm up.
Add the chicken and mix it in with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Serve in warmed up tortillas or taco shells with your favorite toppings.
