Prep Time
15 minutes
Cooking Time
50 minutes
Ingredients
● 1 lb ground chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken
● 1 Pozole Verde Bomb
● 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
● 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
● 2 cloves garlic, minced
● 3 tablespoons olive oil
● 8 small corn tortillas
● 1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
● 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
● Juice of 1 lime
● 1 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
● Salt & pepper to taste
● Optional: queso fresco, pickled onions, avocado slices, radishes
Instructions
1. Cook the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and cook until soft and fragrant—about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the Bomb: Drop in your Pozole Verde Bomb and stir until it melts into the onion mixture.
3. Make it Saucy: Add broth or water, stir well, and bring to a low simmer for 9-11 minutes.
4. Add the Chicken: Stir in the ground or shredded chicken. Let everything simmer together for 10 minutes until well-coated and flavorful.
5. Make the Slaw: In a bowl, mix cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, mayo (or yogurt), salt, and pepper. Toss well and chill while you prep the tacos.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Warm tortillas on a dry skillet. Fill with the verde chicken mixture, top with slaw, and finish with your favorite toppings.
7. Serve: Serve hot with lime wedges and a side of chips.
Tips
Switch It Up: Use ground turkey or jackfruit for a different protein option. Turn It Into a Bowl: Skip the tortillas and layer everything over rice for a verde taco bowl moment.
