GUS'S INCREDIBLE CHICKEN TACO FILLING



Gus's Incredible Chicken Taco Filling image

This is a recipe that I invented about fifteen years ago and has been a favorite among my family and friends ever since. I make this in LARGE amounts, since it goes quickly and can be used in a variety of ways. You can fill toasted taco shells with this then top with lettuce, fresh tomato, cheese, sour cream and or guacamole. I like to put this on tostada shells, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on it, microwave to melt the cheese and then top with sour cream, quacamole and jalapeno slices. You can also do that with the round nacho chips. Another suggestion is to wilt corn tortilla in a skillet with a bit of oil, drain them on paper towels and place some of the filling into them, roll them up and cover with a white cheese and sour cream sauce and garnish with jalapeno slices. Depending on how you use it, this should serve between 6 to 10 people.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole large chicken, boiled and boned
1 (16 ounce) jar of pickled mild banana wax peppers
1 large bell pepper
1 large yellow onion
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon Gebhardt® Chili powder
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Boil and bone the chicken, reserve two cups of the broth. Finely chop the chicken and set aside. I use a food processor to do this. Take all the vegetable and mince or chop in a food processor. Sautee the minced peppers, onion, garlic and cumin until everything is nice and tender, then add the canned tomato. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the chicken, stirring well to mix evenly with the veggies. Add one cup of broth and simmer for about ten minutes to let the flavors mix. If it gets too dry, add the second cup of broth. Once it is heated, add the chili powder, stir in well, remove from heat and you are ready to serve in whatever way you choose.
  • If you leave out the MILD banana wax peppers or the chili powder, you will lose 99 percent of the flavor.NEVER overcook chili powder or it will get bitter. Gebhardt's is a very mild chili powder, so if you can't find it, try to substitute with the mildest you can find.

ANCHO-CUMIN CHICKEN TACO FILLING



Ancho-Cumin Chicken Taco Filling image

From a local source. I had on hand 1.25 pounds of boneless chicken thighs reducing the amount of cumin powder to 1 1/2 tablespoons and 1 1/2 tablespoons of ancho chile powder. I made my own ancho chili powder with one roasted whole dried ancho chili. The membrane, stem and seeds were removed and ground the chili in a spice grinder/coffee mill.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Chicken

Time 21m

Yield 10-12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut up into chunks
1/4 cup cumin powder
1/4 cup dried ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil
fresh cilantro
lime wedge
white onion, diced small
radish (I bought pretty 'purple plum' radishes at the farmer's market!)
tomatillo salsa (I skipped the tomatillo salsa)
crumbled Cotija cheese
red cabbage or white cabbage

Steps:

  • PULSE the chicken chunks in a food processor about 6-8 times briefly to chop chicken into small pieces, *being careful not to overprocess*.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the cumin powder, chili powder and salt.
  • Place the chopped chicken into the bowl and toss with spices to combine well.
  • Heat the coconut oil over medium-­high heat until it shimmers.
  • Add chicken in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, about one minute. Stir chicken and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through, about five minutes or so, stirring often and breaking up any large chunks with your spoon.
  • To serve, spoon chicken mixture onto freshly made tortillas and top with the sides of your choice.
  • Note: I made tostadas using a masa mix and we enjoyed our tostadas with the garnishes listed above except I didn't have time to make tomatillo salsa. The menu: tostadas were served with freshly cooked whole black beans (very lightly seasoned with S/P), and fresh strawberries.
