How To Make chicken tacos

  • 1
    Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute onions on medium-high heat for a couple of minutes, place chicken breast on top of the onions and season lightly with seasoning salt and onion powder.
  • 2
    Pour picante sauce on top of the chicken. Then pour water in the skillet(not over the chicken). Bring to a simmer cover and let cook for 30-45 min. Adding more water if needed so that chicken does not stick to the skillet.
  • 3
    Shred chicken then continue to cook until the water is gone the chicken starts to sizzle in the skillet. Add garlic and chiles cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • 4
    Heat taco shells assemble with cilantro, salsa, cheese and sour cream.
