Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Goya Shredded Chicken Tacos.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a medium bowl and mixing together Goya tomato sauce, white distilled vinegar, minced garlic, ancho chile powder, ground cumin, oregano leaf, and a touch of sugar.
Step 2
Sprinkle in a pinch of Goya Adobo for that extra flavor kick, then set this vibrant sauce aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
Next, heat up some Goya extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
While the oil warms, season your chicken breasts generously with Goya Adobo.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken in the skillet.
Step 6
Sear the chicken for about five minutes, turning it once, until both sides are beautifully golden brown and inviting.
Step 7
Now it’s time to bring the sauce back into play.
Step 8
Pour the reserved tomato sauce mixture over the chicken, and watch as it bubbles with excitement.
Step 9
Be cautious of any splattering! Once it reaches a lively boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.
Step 10
Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 170°F.
Step 11
When the chicken is perfectly cooked, transfer it to a cutting board.
Step 12
Discard the bones and skin, then use two forks to shred the chicken into tender, bite-sized pieces.
Step 13
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it well with the sauce.
Step 14
Allow it to cook for an additional 10 minutes, letting the sauce reduce and caramelize, creating a rich, mouthwatering blend.
Step 15
Finally, serve this delicious shredded chicken in warmed Goya corn tortillas.
Step 16
For a fresh touch, feel free to garnish with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocados, and zesty onions.
Step 17
If you like a little heat, don’t hesitate to add your favorite hot sauce.
Step 18
Enjoy every flavorful bite!.
