Red Chile Shredded Chicken Tacos. How to win over your man's stomach and steal his heart #SundaySuppers
I had all intentions of writing a mushy gushy, what a great guy my husband is post for Father’s Day. That is until I calmly excused myself from the dinner table and stated that I needed to make sure my Sunday Suppers Father’s Day post was up to par and ready to post and said dear husband stated, “You still need to finish it? What have you been doing in there all afternoon?” The nerve.
I suppose I’ll forgive him (shhh, don’t tell him that seeing as that he’s a pretty amazing guy and an even more amazing dad to our 4 rug rats (teenager included). I’ll skip all the mushy gushy and just post 2 of my favorite pictures/moments of my love being the wonderful father that he is.
I mentioned those 3 older brothers right? Well, here they are in all of their glory. Amen. (roll of the eyes as exaggerated as possible). This is how we do Christmas at our house. Classy huh? Nonetheless, boys have some crazy, deeply embedded and apparently unbreakable need to roll around on the floor and wrestle with each other that I will never, ever, ever understand. Which is why I’m glad they have a father who is every bit as goofy and immature ummmm, playful and physical as my boys are.
My poor couch…..
P.S. This all started because cocky teenager below (not so difficultly) provoked a contest to see who was more awesome…… in boy standards. *sigh
So why did I choose these Red Chile Chicken Tacos for Father’s Day? Well, this is the very first meal that I made for my sweetie when we were dating 13 years ago and I’m pretty sure it’s why he asked me to marry him. All I know is he came over for dinner, devoured about a dozen (seriously) of these tacos, a few cold Corona’s and the next day, from out of town with his buddies, I received a dozen of the most gorgeous long stem roses I’ve ever seen and a sweet love note (tacos mentioned).
Men. If you want to win them over, its their stomachs you must appease.
I’m telling you, this is my secret, signature recipe. Quite honestly, it should have been the very first recipe I posted here on Simply Healthy Family seeing as that I was asked often by friends and family for the recipe and got tired of jotting it down and even secretly making it for a girlfriend of mine for her fiancé and passing it off as her own (and she’s Hispanic!
TIME 20 MINUTES (USING PRESSURE COOKER) YIELDS 20 TACOS
You will need
A pressure cooker (or a big pot of boiling water)
4 big (boneless, skinless) chicken breasts
2 cans El Pato
3 cups Canola oil for frying tortillas + 3 tablespoons for frying onions and chicken
20 corn tortillas
1 small yellow onion, diced
handful of cilantro
Avocado, shredded cheese and sour cream for garnish
Ice Cold Cerveza
Throw chicken breasts into a hot pressure cooker, secure lid and bring to 2nd ring. Reduce heat to low and cook 10 minutes if frozen, 7 if thawed. Let pressure come down by removing from heat.
Boil chicken for 15-18 minutes if you don’t have a pressure cooker.
Remove chicken breasts and place in a Kitchen Aide Mixer (or similar) with the cookie dough attachment. (see my post here on this neat little trick on how to shred chicken in 30 seconds).
Pour chicken broth from pressure cooker into a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pot with a paper towel and return to medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons oil to pot, let heat for a few minutes then add chopped onion. Cook for 5 minutes until golden brown and translucent. Add shredded chicken to pot and toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes, toss and cook a few minutes more. Pour in El Pato chile sauce and toss to coat. Cook a few minutes till heated through.
Meanwhile, in a small sauce pot, heat 1/2 of the oil over medium high heat. Using tongs and a fork, carefully place tortillas, one at a time into the pot of oil. Using the tong and fork shape them into tacos. Remove from oil when golden brown and crispy. Place on a pile of paper towels to drain.
Scoop chicken into taco shells, garnish as you please.
