3-Step Shredded Chicken Verde Tacos
Ingredients
Shredded Chicken
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 large organic chicken breasts, trimmed
- 1 jar salsa verde, (or any salsa works!)
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- ground pepper
- red chili flakes
Tacos
- tortillas, (I use Siete tortillas)
- 2 cups mixed greens or spinach
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 lime
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup thinly sliced sweet potato
- 1/2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 3 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Shredded Chicken
- Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil in pot, then add both the chicken breasts to sear both sides on medium heat, 2-3 minutes. Pour in jar of salsa verde over the chicken, cover and let boil for 12-15 minutes. Remove chicken once tender and shred on a cutting board with 2 forks or in a bowl using a hand mixer.
- Add chicken back to pot, along with cilantro, ground pepper and red chili flakes. Toss with tongs until fully combined.
Tacos
- Heat oil in skillet until hot but not smoking. Add sweet potato and cook about 5-10 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Build your tacos! Heat tortillas over an open flame (keep flipping until starting to bubble/brown), or in a skillet on medium heat. Layer tortilla with mixed greens, shredded chicken verde, bell pepper, sweet potato, avocado, roasted pumpkin seeds and cilantro. Enjoy! 🙂
