Taco Heaven

I have come to the conclusion that my favorite thing to cook are tacos. I love tacos in all of their varities; I love the endless amount of ingredients that you can stuff in a taco, or top a taco with. I love that tacos can be flat, folded or rolled, I love that there are so many different tortillas and tortilla shells to chose from, and no matter how you make your tacos and what you put in them; they are unique and special. I love that you can have tacos for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and I love how versatile and fun any meal can be when tacos are involved. I have so many recipes for tacos, but last night I prepared a chicken guisado as a filling to
my soft fried corn tortilla tacos. The filling was elegant, delicious and easy to prepare.

Chicken Guisado

2 chicken breasts (with skin/bone)

heat skilled with 1 tablespoon of olive oil
season chicken breasts with cumin, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder
place chicken breasts in skillet, skin side down and sear. Cover pan, and turn on low...cook for 15 min until done.

While your chicken is cooking heat up another pan
add olive oil
1 jalapeno, chopped
1/2 onion chopped
sweat (10 min)
add 1 8 oz can crushed tomatoes
salt/pepper and squeeze of lime
simmer for 10 min.

Shred chicken and place in sauce, then cook for 5-10 min

stuff your tacos and top with anything you desire. I enjoy lettuce, tomato and cheese :D For this batch of tacos I used a half corn and half wheat tortilla and soft pan-fried them in heated olive oil
