How to cook deliciously - Tomato-Braised Chicken Tacos

1 . Stage

In a blender, pulse tomatoes until well chopped. Add salt, jalapeños, onion, and garlic and puree until smooth.

2 . Stage

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken, about 2 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Add tomato puree to skillet, cover, and reduce heat to medium low.

3 . Stage

Simmer chicken 30 minutes, or until very tender, stirring occasionally. Shred into bite-size pieces using 2 forks. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens and coats chicken, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro just before serving. Top tortillas with chicken and avocado salsa.

4 . Stage

Avocado Salsa: Cut avocados in half and twist apart. Gently tap the pit with the edge of a knife, twist out pit, and discard. Scoop avocado out of skin with a large spoon and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. In a small bowl, gently mix avocado cubes with red onion, tomato, lime, and kosher salt, taking care not to smash avocado. Looking for more dinner options?
