Adobo Chicken and Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, add the marinated chicken along with the marinade. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave. On each tortilla, layer shredded adobo chicken, shredded cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, jalapeno-lime crema, and chopped cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas and serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
