SARAH'S EASY SHREDDED CHICKEN TACO FILLING



Sarah's Easy Shredded Chicken Taco Filling image

I put this together one day, wanting tacos, but I did not want ground beef. It is fast to make, as no slow cooker is needed. Serve warmed as a substitute for ground beef in tacos, and serve in a taco shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup water
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
8 taco shells, warmed

Steps:

  • Mix water and taco seasoning in a large bowl. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and sugar; mix well.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add tomato sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken breasts from the pan and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Return shredded chicken to the pan with the tomato sauce. Cook and stir until chicken is coated with sauce and sauce reduces a bit, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and sauce to a serving bowl and spoon onto taco shells.
