I picked up Aidells Italian Style Pulled Chicken at King Soopers this week just to try it. I like their sausages a lot and thought this looked interesting. I often cook with Italian sausage rather than Mexican (like chorizo) as I find they are often higher quality with better flavor, and there are many seasonings in common.
This is a very flavorful pulled chicken – tastes very Italian, but a simple addition of green chiles and cumin gives it a distinct Mexican flavor. What took this over the top from a good taco to really special was the lime juice – squeeze fresh lime juice liberally on top and the taste really pops! For quick coleslaw I just used the Trader Joe’s Coleslaw Kit.
This is so easy to put together and is the kind of dish you’d find at a really good Mexican restaurant. Hope you like it!
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas
- 1 package Aidells Italian Style Pulled Chicken
- ¼ cup diced green chiles (I used 505)
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 4 cups coleslaw
- 2 fresh limes
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- Cut each lime into 8 wedges and set aside.
- Dump the pulled chicken into a medium skillet, stir in the green chiles and cumin, and heat for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- While the meat is heating, arrange 4 plates with 2 tortillas each. Top each tortilla with about ½ cup coleslaw.
- When chicken is thoroughly heated, place about ¼ cup of chicken on top of each taco. Put a slice of avocado on each, 4 lime wedges and a big dollop of sour cream on the side.
- Serve & enjoy!
