Pulled Chicken Tacos
Learn how to make pulled chicken tacos with juicy, flavorful chicken using basic spices you already have at home; no taco seasoning needed!
Ingredients
- 0.5 kg chicken breasts
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- 14 tortilla breads
- 2 Tbsp shredded cheese per taco
- 700 ml tomato sauce or 500 ml + 200 ml water
Instructions
- Coat the chicken breasts with spices, massaging both sides before flipping.
- Add chicken to a hot non-stick pan on medium heat and cook 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Slice peppers and onion, then cook them in the same pan on medium heat until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Shred the cooked chicken using two forks or a hand mixer.
- Add shredded chicken to the veggies and sprinkle additional seasoning if desired. Mix everything well.
- Add tomato sauce. If you’re using a tomato sauce that is slightly thick, add the tomato sauce to the pan, then fill 1/3 of the bottle with water, shake, and add it to the pan, mix, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, covered to prevent splashing.
- Turn off the heat, chop fresh cilantro, and mix it into the pan.
- Press a tortilla into the sauce, add shredded cheese and chicken mixture, and fold the taco.
- Grill each taco in a clean pan on medium heat until crispy on both sides. Serve hot.
