Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    In a large pot, combine chicken thighs, chopped green chiles, garlic, onion, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot, and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and mix well with the broth.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tacos

    In a separate skillet, warm corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the chicken birria filling. Optionally, garnish with cilantro or diced onions.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with a side of the broth for dipping.
