I have always wanted to make shredded chicken tacos. Â I finally decided to make them. Â I was a little uncertain on how to make them, but after a little trial and error, I came up with a surefire method. Â I boiled the chicken in the spices, shredded the chicken, returned it to the sauce and reduced. Â Overall, the chicken was some of the best I have ever eaten. Â I am not sure if my method is the proper way to make shredded chicken taco meat, but it was simple and delicious.
Shredded Chicken Tacos
Taco Seasoning
Cooking the Chicken
Place the chicken in a deep skillet or dutch oven. Â Cover with the 4 cups of water and add 4 tbs of taco seasoning.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn down the heat to a simmer. Â Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Â Check the chicken to make sure it is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the liquid and place on a plate to cool.
While the chicken is cooling, bring the liquid back up to a boil and let it reduce. Â Don’t worry if you have a lot of liquid left. Â It will reduce.
When the chicken is touchable, shred it with two forks, your fingers, or whatever utensils you have lying around.
Place the chicken back into the liquid.
In a small bowl or cup, add the 4 tbs water, 2 tbs of seasoning and 1 tbs of cornstarch. Â Mix thoroughly and then add to the chicken.
Stir until thickened.
Remove from the heat and your taco meat is ready to go.
Layer your favorite ingredients on to a tortilla or a taco shell and go to town. Â These tacos were delicious. Â You can adjust the seasoning for your personal preferences. Â I like mine spicy, however, Dana does not. Â So I posted the mild recipe.
