Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and salsa ranchera. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onions into thin strips. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet used for onions, cook the chicken over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and juices run clear. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill. To assemble the tacos, place a slice of chicken on each tortilla, top with caramelized onions, a generous amount of Oaxaca cheese, pico de gallo, and some shredded cabbage.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm with extra salsa ranchera on the side, if desired.
