Tacos are the cat's ass. Cram a bunch of stuff into a tortilla, Indian wrestle it down your throat, and call it a day. I had some chicken breasts laying around and decided that whipping up some mega-Mexican fare was in order. Now, I have cooked the chicken different ways in the past: broiled, then shredded, pan fried then shredded, diced raw and simmered with some ersatz Sauce out of a Can...you name it. The results were shitty to a little better than mediocre. What I did tonight was pretty good.
I simply put the breasts into a pot and boiled them with some black pepper, garlic powder and salt, for maybe 2 minutes. Then simmer for 10 minutes, then off the fire and let 'em cool for about 10-20 minutes right in the pot. Remove and shred the chicken, then put it into a skillet with a little oil and lots of cumin. I like cumin.
What you end up with is some pretty moist chicken, with lots of that great cumin taste and aroma. Some beans, sliced avocados and tomatoes, cheese, your favorite hot stuff and someone to do the dishes.
I did 4 breasts, and have plenty for tomorrow and probably the next day. Good stuff.
