Mexicana chicken soup soft tacos! image

I started out making Mexican soup but as it was cooking, I had a brain storm. Why not turn it into tacos? And the rest as they say is history. NOTE: The recipe for the pickled onions is posted on my recipes that I have posted. They are called tickled pink pickled onions. I hope y'all enjoy these tacos. NOTE: If your not a fan of lime or only like it a wee bit, use only 1/2 or omit it all together.

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large soup pot.
  • Add the next 11 ingredients and simmer slowly for at least one hour.
  • While the chicken is cooking, shred some lettuce, slice the peppers, put some pickled onions in a bowl, and crumble the cheese. Set aside.
  • After that time remove the chicken from the pot, and let it cool.
  • Continue simmering the rest of the soup till it has reduced down to almost all the liquid had evaporated. Make sure you keep stirring the vegetables so they don't burn.

  • Cook for a few more minutes.
