Easy Shredded Chicken Tacos Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup water
• 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons white distilled vinegar
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons ground oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 8 taco shells, warmed

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine water and taco seasoning mix. Then, add tomato sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, and a pinch of sugar. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes on each side. Pour in the tomato sauce mixture and bring to a vigorous boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) with an instant-read thermometer.
3. Take the chicken breasts out of the skillet and shred them using two forks once they are cool enough to handle. Put the shredded chicken back into the skillet with the tomato sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the chicken is well coated and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
4. Move the shredded chicken and sauce to a serving dish and generously spoon the mixture into taco shells. Serve immediately and enjoy!
