Shredded Chicken Tacos- 4 Ways
Description
The recipe begins with shredded chicken prepared by one of four methods: boiled, Instant Pot cooked fresh or frozen chicken, or store-bought rotisserie chicken. The shredded chicken is then sautéed briefly with garlic in olive oil, followed by seasoning with onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and kosher salt. Salsa and chicken broth are added to moisten the mixture and enhance flavor. The juice of one lime is stirred in for brightness. The chicken mixture is heated through to allow the flavors to meld.
These shredded chicken tacos are assembled by spooning the filling into warm flour tortillas, ready to be topped as desired. The method allows for adaptable cooking choices and quick meal preparation while providing a flavorful, well-seasoned taco filling.
