01
Step 1
Start by putting the chicken, tomatoes with habanero peppers, green bell pepper, onion, jalapeño peppers, and one packet of taco seasoning into a large pot. Add just enough water to cover the chicken. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about an hour and a half, or until the chicken is cooked through. You can check by making sure the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 2
Once the chicken is done, take it out and let it cool enough to handle. Shred the meat off the bones into bite-sized pieces and toss the bones. Pour off about half the liquid from the pot but keep all the veggies in there. Put the chicken back in, add the second packet of taco seasoning, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes so the flavors can soak in.

Step 3
While that’s going, heat some canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas a few at a time until they crisp up to your liking, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Finally, spoon the chicken and veggie mixture into the warm tortillas and enjoy!

How to serve
