Ingredients

  • 2 can (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
  • 2 tsp. GOYA® White Distilled Vinegar
  • 2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
  • 31/2 tsp. ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp. GOYA® Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 lbs. bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
  • GOYA® Adobo with Pepper, to taste
  • 1 pkt. (10 oz.) GOYA® Corn Tortillas, warmed

For the Garnish:

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped white onions
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • GOYA® Hot Sauce

Directions

1. In medium bowl, mix together tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and sugar. Season with adobo; set aside.

2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with adobo. Cook chicken, turning once, until light golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add reserved tomato sauce mixture to pan; bring to a boil (be careful, the tomato sauce can splatter). Lower heat to medium low. Simmer, covered, until cooked through (thermometer will register 170 degrees F when inserted into thickest part of breast), flipping once, about 20 minutes.

3. Transfer chicken to cutting board; reserve sauce in pan. Remove and discard bones and skin. Using two forks, shred chicken breast. Transfer chicken to skillet with sauce, mixing to combine; continue to cook until sauce reduces and blends into chicken, and mixture begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes more.

4. Transfer chicken mixture to serving bowl. Spoon into warmed corn tortillas. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, avocados and/or onions, if desired. Sprinkle with hot sauce, if desired.

    Good, lots of flavor in the chicken. The recipe was a little confusing, you should cook the chicken 5 min. per side or a little longer when browing it and you cook it 20 minutes per side when lettign it simmer in the sauce. I ddin't buy all Goya products, which were hard to find in your typical grocer, I had to go to the local Mi Tiera for the Goya seasoning; otherwise I used what I already had on hand. I let the onions, cilantro marinate in a little lime before topping the tacos but I needed some cheese too.
