Try using a dutch oven to cook your chicken if you’ve got the time.

what you'll need to start

Large Bowl, Plates, Forks, Small Bowl

directions

  1. Plasce the 2 frozen chicken breasts directly in the pressure cooker with about 2 cups of salted water or enough to just barely submerge the chicken in the pot. Turn the pressure cooker on high for 10-12 minutes and quick release the seal.
  2. While the chicken cooks you can start to get your tortillas warm & crispy. Pour the vegetable oil into a small pan, enough to coat the bottom. Warm until it begins to sizzle.
  3. Add salt to make sure the oil is ready for the tortilla. Carefully, put a corn tortilla in the oil flipping as needed till crispy and hot.
  4. Remove the tortilla from the pan and put it onto a paper towel to dry. Repeat for as many tortillas as needed for the meal.
  5. Once the chicken is ready, take it out and put it into a bowl. Use two forks or a food processor to shred the chicken. Season the chicken with our famous Taco Mix along with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Begin to assemble your tacos and feel free to add salsa, cheese of your choosing, and avocado!

Feel free to substitute the sugar for honey, agave syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener! Be sure to use a small amount and taste test as you go. The sugar helps cut through acidity and helps to get rid of any bitterness.

what you'll need to start

Blender, deep skillet or pot, roasting tray, serving bowl

directions

  1. Rehydrate the chiles using our proven chile rehydration method
  2. Preheat the broiler
  3. Quarter your tomatoes and onion and slice your peeled garlic cloves in half. Spread these onto your baking tray and top with olive oil
  4. Season with salt and pepper and broil until you see a nice char on the vegetables. This should take about 10 minutes, but keep a careful eye on the oven
  5. Add the charred veggies, rehydrated chiles, and the rest of the spices into your blender. Be careful as the mixture will be hot! 
  6. Blend until smooth; do this step in two batches if needed
  7. Add the blended salsa back into your pot and set to low heat. Add in your sugar, or sweetener of choice, and your lime juice
  8. Add water to the pot to thin out the salsa if you find it too thick. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
