  • Return chicken to pot, submerging in sauce. Add more stock if needed.
  • Cover and Place in a preheated oven at 325°F or simmer on a stove for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven. Remove the chicken and let rest.
  • Ladle Sauce and all remaining contents into a blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Do not liquify.
  • Assemble tacos, topping as desired. Serve.
