Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry. With a sharp knife, cut into 1/4" strips. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle over taco seasoning. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil has come to temperature, add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes. Turn each strip and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. If the skillet appears dry, add the last tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onions and peppers. Sprinkle with Kosher salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Remove from the heat. Add the chicken back to the skillet, toss to combine and serve.

TACOS DE POLLO
These chicken tacos can be simple to prepare, with practice. They are VERY delicious and addicting. In Mexico they are usually served for supper but they make a wonderful light lunch also. This is authentic and made from scratch. The flavorful results are well worth the effort. The salsa and filling can be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated. To simplify things even more you can purchase a rotisserie chicken from the deli instead of poaching your own. Prep time does not include cooking time.

- Continue simmering until chicken is just tender but not soft, about 25 minutes.
- Set aside to cool in broth.
- When cool, strain and strip the meat from the bone, discard the bone.
- Finish shredding chicken. If desired, you can shred some of the skin into the meat for extra flavor.
- Reserve the broth for other use, saving 3 Tablespoons for taco filling.
- ***While the chicken is poaching, make the SALSA DE JITOMATE DE MICHOACAN:.
- (Chiles and tomatoes can be broiling at the same time).
- Place the chiles under the broiler until slightly charred and blistered; set aside to cool.
- Line a small shallow pan with foil.

- TACO FILLING:.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet.
- Add onion and chile strips; saute for 1 minute but do not brown.
- Add tomatoes and continue cooking for 3 more minutes, until some of the juice has been absorbed.
- Add the shredded chicken, broth, and salt; cook until the mixture is almost dry and shiny, about 8 minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- THE TACOS:.
- Place 1/12 of the filling mixture across a corn tortilla; roll up and secure with a toothpick.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

TINGA DE POLLO TACOS
Tinga de pollo, or shredded chicken, is a classic taco filling beloved for its flavorful sauce and simple preparation-in fact, it's a great way to use up leftover chicken! (Note: You may want to use tortillas from Chef Cámara's Homemade Corn Tortillas recipe on Panna.)

Steps:
- Poach chicken: In a saucepan, add chicken and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 pinches salt, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until opaque and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, make Tinga Sauce.
- Tinga Sauce: In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until smoking, 2 minutes. Add the onions (you should hear a sizzle when they hit the pan). Stir until lightly caramelized, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, and chicken stock in a blender. Purée on medium speed until smooth, 30 seconds; then add tomato mixture to the onions. Stir and simmer, 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from poaching liquid. When cool enough to handle, shred by hand and add to Tinga Sauce. Check for seasoning, and add salt to taste (Chef Cámara adds 2-3 teaspoons). Simmer, 5 more minutes.
- Assembly: Divide Chicken Tinga evenly among the tortillas. Garnish each with an avocado slice and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
TAQUITOS DE POLLO
Steps:
- To make the filling simply mix all the ingredients (minus the tortillas, skewers and oil of course) together in a medium bowl and set aside. To make the salsa, place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Should be a bit thinner than guacamole. Set aside. To make the sauce, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, remove from heat and soak the anchos in the hot water for about 30 minutes. Next stem the peppers and cut them open and seed them. Lay the opened pepper on a cutting board, skin side down and gently scrape the flesh away from the skin with a small knife. Discard the skin. (You don't have to remove the flesh from the skin; it will just not break down ad well in the blender) Now add the chile flesh and the remaining ingredients to a blender and puree until creamy smooth. Set aside. Now it's time to assemble the taquitos and fry them up. Heat enough oil to cover about 2 inches of a large heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Next warm the tortillas, 3 or 4 at a time in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This will make them easier to handle and less likely to fall apart. Now quickly stuff each of the tortillas with a couple of tablespoons or so of the chicken mixture and roll. They should be about 1 inch in diameter. Secure the rolled taquito by forcing it onto a wooden skewer. Tightly secure 2 taquitos per skewer. Finally insert the skewers, 1 or 2 at a time into the hot oil, angling them so that both taquitos are submerged and fry for about 2 - 3 minutes or until golden brown. Serve along side the salsa and ancho creama and maybe some poblano rice.
