Grand T’s Shredded Chicken Tacos

This is my Mama’s recipe for Shredded Chicken Tacos. My Mama adds onions which are yummy, but I used my last one last night. This is an easy recipe that everyone will love. Fresh ingredients add so many wonderful flavors. The ingredients for this recipe are chicken thighs, corn tortillas, Monterey jack cheese, cilantro, and seasonings. I like using garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and lots of ground cumin.
Boil chicken thighs in a large pot of water add seasonings. Cook until thighs are tender and falling off the bone, about 1 hour.
Shred chicken with 2 forks, remove all skin and bones and return back to the pot of herbs and chicken stock.
In a saute pan, add a tsp of olive oil, heat the tortilla until brown, flip, and heat other side.
Add a heaping tablespoon of chicken, shredded cheese and cilantro. I like Mrs. Renfro’s green salsa.

 

 

Recipe

1 package chicken thighs (skin and bone attached)

1 package corn tortillas
1 TBSP Garlic powder
1 TBSP Onion powder
1 TBSP Paprika 
1 TBSP Ground cumin
1 package corn tortillas
1 TBSP EVOO
1/2 package Monterey jack cheese,grated  
Cilantro, for garnish
Green Salsa, for garnish
 
Place Chicken Thighs in a large pot. Fill with water, cover chicken. Add Spices. Place on stove on a medium high, cook for 1 hour or until chicken is tender and falls off bone. Drain Chicken into colander over another pot, keep broth for future use as in making soups. When chicken cools, remove skin and bone, shred chicken with two forks, add a bit of broth to keep moist. In a seperate skillet, place 1 TBSP EVOO on Medium high heat, saute tortilla on each side until golden. Place one TBSP of shredded chicken, cheese and salsa over tortilla! Enjoy!
