Braised Chicken

Method

Braised Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Add the organic chicken thighs to the pot. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken in the spices.

  3. 3

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Chicken

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let the chicken braise for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  5. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and mix with the remaining juices.

Taco Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the local corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer a generous amount of the shredded braised chicken, followed by organic greens, cortido kraut, and fire roasted tomato salsa.

  3. 8

    Add Cream and Beans

    Drizzle with roasted jalapeño cashew crema and add a spoonful of black beans.

  4. 9

    Serve with Sides

    Serve the tacos with a side of cooked red jasmine rice and a portion of taqueria pickles for added flavor.
