    Preparation Steps

    1

    Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a pot, then add the chicken and cook for 20 minutes, or until tender.

    2

    Remove the chicken from the broth, let it cool for a few minutes, then shred it with two forks.

    3

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

    4

    Add the chopped tomatoes and the rehydrated guajillo chiles, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

    5

    Pour in some of the chicken broth and blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender.

    6

    Pour the salsa roja back into the skillet, add the shredded chicken, and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until slightly charred.

    8

    Fill the tortillas with the chicken in salsa roja and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

    9

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving to enhance the flavors.
