Directions
Maria’s Taco Xpress Pollo Guisado, I got this from Guy Fieri’s cookbook, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Maria’s Taco Xpress is a South Austin institution and it’s fast food, Texas style. The locals rave about the food. Guy says the pollo guisado is a little bit sweet, spicy, tender, and crazy good!, Excellent tacos; a definite repeat recipe! Like another reviewer, used chicken breast. I subbed broth, skipped the oil and made this in the crock pot. I also added only a third of the chipotles, based on another’s review. It came out perfect for us – lightly spicy, but not too hot to put all of the very yummy tomato/onion mixture into the tacos instead of adding salsa. I got the idea from others to add cilantro, lime and guacamole, and those were all great adds as well. I think you just can’t go wrong here!, used some leftover chicken breasts that were a little blah. They certainly weren’t blah afterwards! I’ve had carne guisada before, but never the chicken version. I loved the way the shredded chicken soaked up the flavors of the sauce. Thanks for posting!
