1 hr 10 min
10 min prep
1 hr cook

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp Canola oil
  • 1/2 Medium white onion, large diced
  • 1 Roma tomato, rough chopped
  • 1 tbsp Caldo de tomate granulated bouillon
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 Mole rojo
  • 12 White corn tortillas
  • 8 oz Queso Oaxaca, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, rough chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side.
  3. Add onions, tomatoes, water, and bouillon. Gently stir just until evenly distributed. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Once chicken is fork tender, remove to a plate or bowl to cool briefly. Meanwhile, turn heat to low and reduce remaining broth and vegetable mixture.
  5. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into smaller pieces. Return chicken to skillet, turn heat up to medium, and stir in mole rojo.
  6. Working in batches, heat a small amount of remaining oil in a separate skillet. Add a corn tortilla and top with a small amount of Oaxaca cheese and some shredded chicken.
