Unique Chicken Tacos - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 -4 chicken breasts (skin and bone-in)
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with lime and cilantro (Ro- Tel)
1 (12 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (I use Ro- Tel habanero peppers)
1/2 cup water
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, Seasoned
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (Shredded)
1/2 cup buttermilk ranch dressing
1/2 cup lettuce (shredded)
taco shell (I used the one that stand on their own)
Preparation
-
In a deep skillet fitted with a lid, place chicken breast. Top with both cans of Tomatoes along with the water. Cover and simmer unitl fork tender. Remove chicken from skillet. De-bone and remove skin. Chunk up and return to the skillet to allow the juices to penetrate the meat, approx 30 - 45 minutes on low, or until desired consistency. Meanwhile, heat beans in a seperate pan and cook taco shells according to package directions.
To build the taco- divide cheese equally into each taco shell, next layer - beans - chicken and tomatoes next, top with ranch and then lettuce.
Enjoy.
PS this make plenty of chicken, it freezes great for another round at a later date. I keep it on hand and add it to number of dishes. Watch for more recipes using this chicken.
