Pulled chicken tacos
effortless!
Using a precooked chicken is a great step towards easy entertaining – these tacos are just as good as their slowcooked counterpart but use a few quick shortcuts. Serve with all the fixings in the middle of the table and let everyone build their own, family-style.
20 MINUTES | SERVES 6 | EASY
vegetable oil 1 tbsp
onion 1, finely chopped
garlic 2 cloves, finely chopped
ground cumin 2 tsp
passata 500ml
chipotle paste 1-2 tbsp
Belazu Hot Oak Smoked Paprika 1 tsp
rotisserie chicken 1, pulled into chunks, skin and bones removed
corn tortillas 12-18, warmed
FIXINGS
limes 2, juiced, plus wedges to serve
red onion 1, finely chopped
red chilli 1, finely chopped
coriander a small bunch, finely chopped
vine tomatoes 350g ripe, finely chopped
avocados 2 ripe, chopped
shredded iceberg lettuce, pickled jalapeños, soured cream, hot sauce and feta to serve
Heat the oil in a frying pan, and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until golden and soft. Still in the garlic and cumin, fry for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the passata with a splash of water, chipotle (depending on how spicy you like it) and Belazu Hot Oak Smoked Paprika, and bring to a simmer. Season and add a pinch of sugar.
Stir in the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken has heated through. Season well and add a squeeze of lime juice.
Mix the red onion, chilli, most of the coriander, tomatoes (and any juice on the chopping board) with the remaining lime juice, and season well. Mash the avocado with some seasoning, then fold through 3 tbsp of the tomato salsa.
Serve the salsa, guacamole and other toppings in small bowls alongside the pulled chicken and warmed tortillas, wrapped in foil and kept under a tea towel to keep them warm.
