Chicken Tacos

“We’ve been enjoying this recipe since 2008! Kids love it, adults love it! If you can start with a pre-cooked chicken, it’s super fast!Sometimes I use frozen cilantro cubes from Trader Joe’s, to give it more cilantro flavor. And instead of 1 cup green salsa, I use a whole jar of Trader Joe’s green salsa. Super good with cotija cheese too.This recipe keeps and reheats well too.My 3 boys love it!! Thank you so much!”

“Delicious. I subbed the cilantro for 1/2 tsp of coriander powder and used the chicken to make fantastic enchiladas. Will use frequently.”

“I made this last night and it was very good!Followed the recipe except I didn’ thave green chili salsa so I added a little bit of ortega green sauce and I used regular oregano because I didn’t have mexicanoregano.The lime added to the meat made it even better.Very easy to make…thanks for posting.”

“I have made these several time and my family loves them – don’t forget the fresh lime squeezed over the meat before serving! Delicious.”

“5 stars for flavor!2 things..It take about 30 – 4 minutes to simmer away most of the liquid. 2)I HIGHLY suggest getting the mild salsa verde instead of the medium unless you like your tacos HOT. I used medium and halved the chili powder and it was still pretty spicy.”

“Easy and excellent!I followed the instructions… except I couldn’t find any green chili salsa in the grocery and subbed a regular salsa.I’m not so hot eating soft tacos neatly so next time, I think I’ll do a taco salad instead.;)There will definitely be a “next time” b/c this is very tasty and easy to prepare….and a great way to use leftover cooked chicken (or turkey)!”

“Delicious!”

“Soooooooooo Good! I had Chicken Tenders and lightly browned them in some EVOO.Addes some carrot, celery, onion and some Mexican Seas. Chicken broth and some white wine. Simmerd until chicken was tender enough to shredd. I had Green Tomatillo Salsa in my Pantry (not sure if it is like Green Chilli Salsa?)but It tasted good. LOL.Other than that all as listed. Will try the Salsa called for next time! Use regular/Greek Oregano. I realy cannot see much difference in the taste and would not use it enough.Thanks for this wonderful recipe, which I will use a lot.”

“OzmanThese were wonderful. Made them tonight and everyone loved them. I doubled everything hoping for leftover’s but don’t think that will happen lol Thanks for sharing, Will be in my keeper file. *p.s. I couldn’t find the mexican oregano* can anyone help me for next time? Thanks again for a great recipe.:)”

“Super DELISH! The whole famn damily loved this, including the picky kids. I poached the chicken breasts in a little water w/ 1/2 sliced onion & garlic. Added some chicken bouillion seasoning. Saved the liquid cuz it was flavorful and browned. Dumped everything else as suggested into the skillet. The only adjustment I made was cutting back to 1t of chili powder. I didn’t want to kill the kids. Served w/sauteed sliced sweet red bell pepper, sliced onions, lettuce, pepper jack cheese, black olives. Warmed the soft flour tortillas on a grill pan. YUM! It’s a keeper. Many thanks Ozman!”

“Better tacos than any Mexican restaurant! I use “El Pinto” green chile salsa. Made it once with Rotel tomatoes – DON’T! Stick to the original recipe! If I’m in a hurry, I buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli or boil some chicken breasts. My brother tried it at my house and now he makes this every Sunday!”

“I used cooked, shredded chicken thighs for this recipe.I simmered the mixture uncovered to help evaporate some of the liquid.Very good tasting chicken filling with just the right amount of heat.”

“We loved these tacos.Excellent blend of spices and so good!”

“Very yummy!I cooked the chicken with the sauce and then shredded.We also added vidalia onions as a topping.It states it would serve 6-8, but it’s really more like 4!!My hubby rated this a 7.5!!Thanks for sharing!!:O)”

“Very good tacos!We pigged out on these as the grandchildren really enjoy them!Made following the recipe and wouldn’t change a thing on this one.Flavors are perfectly blended to make one awesome recipe!We had along with some Mexican style rice which went so well with it.Kids and I had a feast!”

“Very good!I used Herdez salsa verde.There was a whole lot of liquid left after 20 min. I cooked it on low way longer then the recipe called for. (Helped with the extra liquid and I figured the flavor would be better if it cooked longer.) My kids and husband all enjoyed it. I was very happy with this and will be making it again and passing on to family and friends. Thanks!”

“This was fantastic!I couldn’t find green chili salsa so I used my fave, Jacks Special.I will be making this again soon!”

“Great flavor. Definitely a keeper. I had too much liquid, though, even after 1/2 hour of simmering, so ate it over my Mexican rice with cheese and tomatoes on top. Wonderful!!!! Next time I’ll cut back on the broth a little.”

“Made these last night for my husbands’ Cinco De Mayo birthday dinner with home- made taco shells (well, puchased corn tortillas, cooked up on the stove in hot canola oil and shaped in to taco shells~ “recipe /method” on this site also. BIG HIT! I roasted a whole chicken the day before and shredded up 3 cups (maybe a bit more). Everyone just raved and went back for seconds and thirds. I will definately make these again and again! Thanks for the recipe! ~Patricia”

“I am rating this recipe on technique alone because I didn’t have the ingredients exactly.That being said, I had cooked several chicken breasts earlier in the week in the crockpot and was looking for a way to use up the last 2.5 cooked boneless skinless breasts.I used this recipe with the substitution of regular salsa, and no green chilis.My tacos were wonderful!! This method/recipe brought the breasts back to life and made wonderful moist and tasty chicken tacos out of some lifeless cooked breasts.Thank you so much for posting this, it may seem obvious to some but for me it turned out to be a great dinner.”
