Mexican Street Tacos

Have you ever eaten Mexican Street Tacos? I never had until recently. I always made tacos with ground beef and taco seasoning on flour tortillas, Fritos, or those crunchy, hard shells that always break apart when you take a bite. You know what I'm talking about, right? Ugh!

So when my son and daughter-in-law came home for a visit, they told us we were making street tacos & that we would never want to go back to regular tacos again. Seriously. He was right. We don't. 

In fact, we have made these 3 times since then and they are sooooo good!! The chicken is cooked in a crock pot & practically shreds itself it's so tender. I am also IN LOVE with the white corn tortillas! They have such a great flavor. Mmmmm! You also don't need all the toppings that you would normally put on tacos. Authentic street tacos only have cilantro and onions. That's it. (I only put pico de gallo or guacamole on mine because to me, those go on everything! Plus, I'm not a fan of raw onions.)

Even if you don't want to make tacos, this meat is easy & delicious. It could be used with almost anything. 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

2 tsp chili powder

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

White corn tortillas

Cilantro

Diced onions

Directions:

Put chopped onions in bottom of crock pot, then add the chicken and garlic. Mix all spices together and sprinkle over chicken. Cook on low for about 6 hours until fully cooked. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and let sit another hour or so. 

Heat tortillas on skillet (flipping so both sides are nice and toasty) then fill with chicken, onions and cilantro. (Or other toppings.) ;)

Enjoy!! 

This was mine with just the pico on top. ;)
