Mexican-inspired shredded chicken tacos simmered in Shiner® Bock and fajita seasoning, a delightful dish.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- 2 tablespoons chicken fajita seasoning
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups water, or more as needed
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (such as Shiner® Bock)
- 1 (16 ounce) can enchilada sauce (such as El Paso® Hot Red Enchilada Sauce)
- 3 fresh jalapeno peppers, diced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas, or as needed
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
Instructions:
- In a large pot, generously season chicken with fajita seasoning and cayenne pepper. Pour in water and beer. Simmer over medium heat until chicken is tender and fully cooked, about 1 hour, adding extra water if needed. Check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken from broth and set aside to cool slightly, keeping the broth for later use.
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer enchilada sauce, jalapeno peppers, onion, and 1/4 cup chicken broth for 10 minutes until the onions are softened.
- Shred the chicken meat and mix it thoroughly into the enchilada sauce.
- Heat up tortillas on a grill pan over gentle heat. Fill each corn tortilla with chicken mixture and sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend.
