Ingredients

Tomato Sauce

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Tacos

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1
Make the tacos: Place chicken breasts and salt into a pot and cover halfway with water. Bring to a boil; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Remove from the pot and cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Shred into thin pieces.

Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, tomato, and bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken, bouillon granules, and black pepper; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Spoon some chicken mixture into the middle of each corn tortilla. Fold tortillas around the filling and secure with a toothpick.

Step 4
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tortillas in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 5
Make the sauce: Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tomato sauce, bouillon granules, and seasoned salt. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over tacos.

Tips

Add diced vegetables to the tomato sauce if desired.
