Recipe Summary Mango-Lime Shredded Chicken Tacos

I put a little spin on a family favorite. While this chicken filling is simmering I fry my corn tortillas until they are nice and crispy! If you like sweet and spicy together, this is a great dinner idea! Fill shells with chicken, lettuce, tomato, fresh cilantro, and your choice of hot sauce. Enjoy!

Ingredients | Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 large white onion, chopped

1 large Anaheim pepper, diced

1 jalapeno pepper, diced

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 cup chicken stock

1 (8 ounce) can peeled whole plum tomatoes

1 (5 ounce) can tomato sauce

¼ cup diced mango

1 large lime, zested and juiced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon Pasilla chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon white sugar

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

16 corn tortillas

Directions

Place chicken into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a work surface to cool; shred.

Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno pepper, and garlic until slightly softened and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add shredded chicken, chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, mango, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, sugar, and cinnamon; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken filling is reduced, at least 45 minutes.

Fill corn tortillas with chicken filling.
