Ancho Chicken Soft Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Leftover chicken
    3 dried ancho peppers, stemmed and seeded
    1 cup chicken stock
    2 tbl extra virgin olive oil
    1 red onion, finely chopped
    3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    2 tbl sherry or sherry vinegar
    1 tsp fresh organo
    2 tsp ground cumin
    2 tsp ground coriander
    2 tsp smoked paprika
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    8 soft flour tortillas
Preparation
    Place the ancho peppers & the chicken stock in a small pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a bubble & simmer until peppers are very tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor & puree until smooth. Reserve.
    Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tbl of olive oil. Add red onion & garlic & cook until tender, about 5 minutes. While that's cooking, remove the skin and meat from the chicken & shred the meat.
    Add sherry & cook for a minute. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, shredded chicken & ancho puree to the skillet & cook for 3-4 minutes (add a splash of chicken stock if the mixture is too thick).
    Serve with tortillas.
