Shredded Chicken Tacos image

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cans (8 oz. each) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
2 tsp. GOYA® White Distilled Vinegar
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
3½ tsp. ancho chili powder
1 tsp. GOYA® Ground Cumin
2 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
½ tsp. sugar
GOYA® Adobo with Pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 lbs. bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
12 GOYA® Corn Tortillas, heated according to package instructions
For the garnish:
Chopped avocados (optional)
Coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Shredded lettuce (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)
Finely chopped white onions (optional)
Chopped tomatoes (optional)
GOYA® Hot Sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In medium bowl, mix together tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and sugar. Season with adobo; set aside.
  • 2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with adobo. Cook chicken, turning once, until light golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add reserved tomato sauce mixture to pan; bring to a boil (be careful, the tomato sauce can splatter). Lower heat to medium low. Simmer, covered, flipping once, until chicken is cooked through (thermometer will register 165°F when inserted into thickest part of breast), about 20 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer chicken to cutting board; reserve sauce in pan. Remove and discard bones and skin. Using two forks, shred chicken breast. Transfer chicken to skillet with sauce, mixing to combine; continue to cook until sauce reduces and blends into chicken, and mixture begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes more.
  • 4. To serve, spoon shredded chicken onto tortillas. Garnish with desired toppings.
