INSTRUCTIONS
The Chicken
Place chicken breasts, sea salt, black pepper, bone broth, bay leaf and garlic cloves into a Stockpot and bring to a boil. Cover it and lower the heat to medium, allowing the chicken to cook for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Shred the chicken and discard the bones along with the garlic. Transfer the broth into a bowl and set aside for later.
The Sauce
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, add the onions and peppers and sauté until tender. Add the cumin, turmeric, paprika and chili powder and stir to combine.
Add Otamot Essential Sauce and a cup of the leftover broth from the chicken into the pan, stir to combine. Finally, add the shredded chicken to the sauce and toss to combine. Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Build Your Tacos
Fill your taco shells or lettuce wraps with the chicken mixture and finish it with fresh cilantro, avocado slices and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
