So I said that I would add the chicken recipe from the rolled tacos video, but watching chicken boil is pretty boring. I think that this is a very simple recipe and is much better suited for print.
Chicken with Tomatillo
-Tomatillos are the small green tomatoes, but they are not just green regular tomatoes. Those are totally different and the chicken will come out disgusting if you use that instead.

This is a tomatillo. It comes with a papery skin around it and then looks like a tomato on the inside.
The very first thing you need to do is boil the chicken. It needs to be cooked through as you are not going to be cooking the chicken with all the salsa ingredients rather just combining them for flavor.
Into the water:
-1/2 chicken
-1 onion cut in half (put both halves in the pot)
-1 clove of garlic
-salt to taste
Let the chicken boil for 45 minutes to an hour
Once that is done and somewhat cooled (so that you don't burn your fingers), shred the chicken.
Now for the salsa ingredients. You aren't actually going to make a salsa it is all going to be combined in the pan.
Ingredients:
- 2 T corn oil
-1 tomato, chopped
-6 green tomatillos, chopped
-1/4 onion, finely chopped
-2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
-1/2 teaspoon pepper
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-salt to taste
Directions:
-Heat the 2 T of corn oil in a pan
-Add all the above ingredients and mix together on medium/low heat until the onion is translucent and the tomato has broken down somewhat, about 10 minutes.
-Add the shredded chicken to the pan and mix for another 10 minutes to combine all the flavors.
-You now have chicken in a tomatillo salsa.
You can use this chicken for rolled tacos, or you can simply make a simple soft taco, use it in a quesadilla, or any other ideas you might have.
