It’s been a pretty lazy week concerning cooking on my part. As I mentioned earlier in the week, I roasted a chicken last weekend when Aaron’s parents were in town and lucky for us we had lots of leftovers. I need mexican food at least once a week, so on my way home from work the other night I picked up some ingredients that I could use to make some guacamole and figured I’d improvise and use the same ingredients to make dinner. I ended up tossing some jalepeno, garlic, onion, cilantro, a dried chile and chicken broth (made from the roast) in the food processor and in minutes I had a tasty sauce to cover my leftover chicken. I sprinkled a little cheese on top and Aaron whipped up some delicious guacamole to top off the tacos and shazam… dinner was made. Super easy and delicious.
Yummy Cilantro Sauce
A handful of cilantro
1/4 cup chicken broth
half a jalepeño pepper
half a small onion
2 garlic cloves
1 small dried red pepper
1
Toss all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until smooth.
2
In a sautee pan, pour sauce over cooked chicken. Heat for a few minutes.
3
Put meat in tortilla shells and top with your favorite ingredients like guacamole or cheese or whatever floats your boat.
