Quick Chicken Birria Tacos

Chicken birria tacos made with shredded rotisserie chicken and a quick savory sauce. Simplified fried taco recipe made in under 30 minutes.

1
Prep chicken, onion, and cilantro and set aside. Be sure to keep chicken shreds manageable so they fit in the corn tortillas.
2
Combine all adobo sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until thickened and smooth.
3
Drizzle 1/3-1/2 cup of sauce over the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4
Bring 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet to medium-high heat. Dip both sides of a corn tortilla in the adobo sauce and place in the skillet. Top with a thin layer of cheese. On one half of the tortilla, layer chicken, onion, and cilantro, followed by a little more cheese. Fold over the other half and press down with a spatula. Sear for 1 minute per side or until golden and crisped. Add more oil as needed.

Serve tacos with extra adobo sauce for dipping or sour cream.

Always look for the small 6-inch taco size tortillas.
