I love simple food, and these tacos certainly are an easy and quick way to make a second meal from my leftover Rotisserie Chicken that I get at Costco ($4.99). Hope you guys enjoy my tacos!
The Goods:
2 Limes
2 Cups Leftover Chicken, Diced (Try to mix up some white and dark meat!)
Shredded Romaine Lettuce Heart
1 Yellow Onion
2 stalks fresh Cilantro
2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Cup Chicken Stock (I usually just use Bouillon to make it)
Powdered Cumin
Powdered Cayenne Chili
Pam
2 Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas
The Chicken
- Dice into small cubes or pull apart with forks.
- Heat up the chicken in a pot. Salt and pepper to taste
- That's about it. Duh.
The SAUCE:
- Halve the onion and set one of the halves aside. Using a Magic Bullet/Blender/Food processor, blend half of the onion, 1 clove of garlic, the sour cream, 1 tsp Cumin, and 1 tsp Chili powder. Squeeze the juice of half a lime in the mixture and blend until fine.
- Bring the chicken stock to boil and add in the above mixture. Keep at a slow simmer until the sauce is thickened.
- Set aside in a warm area (I often let things just sit in the Microwave to conserve heat due to the limited space in my kitchen), or leave on the back burner on a very low heat, occasionally stirring.
The Sort of Pico
- Mince the other half of the onion and finely mince 1 clove of garlic
- Squeeze in the other half of the lime
- Add in some chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Next.
The Gestalt
- Warm up the tortillas.
- Put a handful of chicken on them.
- Shred some lettuce and put it on.
- Cover in The SAUCE.
- Put a wedge of a lime on the side if you're trying to impress the ladies.
- Eat. Impress the ladies. Done.
