She had learned from her grandmother. Her suggestion was to always save the poaching liquid for Mexican Rice. Skim off the fat and strain and use as your broth. Beats the canned version any day.

On the next attempt I might try and season the chicken with something a bit more spicy as it lacked the kick that I enjoy Mexican food for.

In less than a week, I've already tried it, lovedbit, and made it again! The chicken saves very well, prep is super easy, and (most importantly) clean up is essentially nothing! If you are reading this recipe for the first time and are maybe a little unsure, please take my testimonial as proof that you need to try it! This is my new go-to chicken recipe!

I only do it this often or so as it makes a big mess at my house, but everyone loves it so we all pitch in on the clean up! I agree with Maureen and is why we also have both hard and soft shell taco's for whichever version you prefer. I noticed this site only gives you measurements in the US system so here is a link for those of you who need to <a href="http://www.unit-convert.com" rel="nofollow">convert measurements</a> from the US system to metric.

So I buy good tortillas and harden them by putting them in the toaster and they come out taco shaped but with a little softness. And they LOVE them made with chicken thighs,but once in a while ask for ground meat. I like my tacos soft, my girls like the crunchy ones.

Just wanted to mention that, when the chicken was done there was left in the pot a *very* delicious chicken stock which I used to cook some grains after dinner for future lunches/dinners. You'll feel like you're one of those mompetitors on one of those food network shows that promises a week's worth of meals in 30 minutes of cooking or something!

Store bought guac is good for making simple tacos like these, but I'd love to see a smitten post on how to make a good guacamole (read: how do you make something that is fatty in itself not so fatty?).
