Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce with about 1 tablespoon of adobo.
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground clove
- 1 28- ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed or diced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
- 6 cups shredded cooked chicken, about 2 pounds (you can use rotisserie chicken)
- corn tortillas
Toppings for Serving:
- Cotija cheese or Queso Fresco cheese, crumbled
- avocado
- diced onions
- chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes or until they become translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for about a minute.
- Stir in the chipotles, adobo sauce, oregano, ground cumin and clove and cook for about a minute.
- Stir in the tomatoes, honey, stock and MAGGI® granulated chicken bouillon. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium low heat for about 6-7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and place the sauce in a blender. Blend until the sauce becomes smooth.
- Return the sauce to the skillet and stir in the chicken. Toss well so the chicken is coated with the sauce. If the mixture is a bit dry, add additional broth.
- Return the skillet to the stove and cook the chicken mixture over low heat for about 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is warm and the flavors have melded.
- Serve over corn tortillas topped with your favorite toppings.
