Accompaniments For Assembling Chicken Tacos:

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high. I prefer using my biggest cast iron skillet because it does a really good job caramelizing onions and browning the meat.
  2. Add the onions, yellow pepper and jalapeño(s) peppers to the oil.
  3. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are caramelized to a deep golden brown.
  4. Stir in the spices and chicken.
  5. Cook until meat is beginning to brown and is heated through. Add oil if meat is sticking to bottom of pan.
  6. Serve as per instructions below.

Comments

To assemble a soft taco:

Lay tortilla flat.

Spread refried beans down the center of tortilla. Top with the chicken mixture, Mexican rice, grated cheese, guacamole, chopped lettuce, salsa fresca, and sour cream.

Grasp one side of the tortilla and fold it over the meat and toppings until it reaches the opposite side of the tortilla.

Pick up the taco by grasping the top, place your other hand on the bottom and enjoy.
