Ranchero Chicken
About The Recipe
This is a great filling for chicken taquitos, tacos, and enchiladas, but it also works great for nachos and burritos.
If you use a different salsa, you will not get the same result. You will notice throughout my Mexican and Tex-Mex recipes that I use Pace brand salsa. They are not a sponsor; I use it for the flavor. I have made it my tomato base and It has a fermented garlic and the pepper flavors really come through.
I have not been able to replicate the flavor so I use it every time.
Variations
You can also add different types of peppers to this if you want to add a layer of flavor. If you want some heat, try dicing a fire-roasted poblano pepper or jalapeno.
Equipment Needed
You will need a sauté pan to make this recipe.
- 2 Package Rotisserie Chickens, breast meat (Best value at Costco or Sam's Club)
- 1 cup Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Salsa, mild (Pace brand)
- Chicken Ranchero Filling
Pull the breast meat from the chicken, roughly chop it, and add to a pan with the chicken stock and salsa.
Simmer until the liquid is almost gone, remove from heat, and let cool.
If you want to save it for later, you can vacuum seal a batch and freeze it.
