Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 12 corn tortillas

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add the chicken thighs, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar to the pot.
- Sprinkle in the ground cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until chicken is fork-tender.
- Remove the chicken, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot, mixing with the broth.
- In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until soft and flexible.
- Fill each tortilla with the shredded chicken mixture and garnish with chopped cilantro and diced onion.
- Serve hot with lime wedges.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in the spices for a few hours before cooking.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder or using a spicier variety.
- These tacos can be served with a side of broth for dipping.
