Ancho Chili Chicken Tacos
This chicken and these tacos were delicious. I can't wait to try making steaks with the sous vide method, where you cook them in the machine, and then quick char them on the barbecue or a cast iron skillet. No more over cooking expensive beef!
These Sous Vide Ancho Chile Chicken Tacos are filled with tender chicken breasts cooked via the sous vide method in a chili sauce made from ancho chilis, Mexican oregano, garlic, brown sugar, and spices. You can also serve this chicken over rice or with tortillas. So simple and so good.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 2 ounces whole dried ancho chilis, stems cut off, and seeds shaken out.
- 2/3 cup water
