Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken thighs, sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 2 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Taco Seasoning
- 12 corn tortillas (pre-cooked or fresh)
- Oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Prepare Chicken Filling:
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken thighs and chopped onions to the skillet.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken and onions.
- Sauté the chicken until it is cooked thoroughly, tender, and still soft.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute.
2. Add Tomatoes and Cilantro:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the chopped tomatoes and fresh cilantro.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little water to the skillet.
- Continue cooking for another two minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
- Turn off the heat and cover the skillet to keep the filling warm.
3. Warm Tortillas:
- If using fresh tortillas, warm them in a preheated skillet with a little oil.
- Place one side of the tortilla up in the skillet for a few seconds until warm and pliable, then flip it over to warm the other side.
- Keep the warmed tortillas covered with a clean kitchen towel to maintain their warmth.
4. Assemble Tacos:
- Spoon the warm chicken filling into the warmed tortillas.
- Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Enjoy!
