(Source: Sunny Anderson)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp or minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon (1 packet) sazon seasoning
1 pound ground chicken
2 teaspoons flour
1 cup chicken stock
12 taco shells, kept warm in a 200 degree oven
Shredded lettuce, for serving
In a large saute pan with straight sides over medium-high
heat, heat the olive oil. Add the red and green bell pepper, onion and then
season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Saute until the vegetables
are tender then add the garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and sazon
seasoning. Cook for a minute or so then add the ground chicken and cook,
breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon while stirring. Make sure to really
break up the ground chicken on this step so there are no large clumps.
Once the chicken is cooked through, sprinkle the flour
over the top and stir while cooking to allow the flour to blend into the
chicken for a few minutes. Add the chicken stock then raise the heat to a
simmer and cook until the stock thickens a bit, about 4 to 5 minutes. Serve in
warm taco shells topped with shredded lettuce and a dollop of Creamy Salsa.
