Ingredients

For the Garnish

  • ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 dash Goya Hot Sauce
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans Goya Tomato Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Goya White Distilled Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Goya Minced Garlic
  • 3 ½ teaspoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon Goya Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Goya Oregano Leaf
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch Goya Adobo with Pepper, to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) package Goya Corn Tortillas, warmed

Directions

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
