Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 boneless chicken breast; cut into strips
  • 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp. Jacmel Seasoning
  • ½ tsp. Saint-Marc
  • 5 garlic cloves; smashed or minced
  • ½ small Onion; thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup water; plus ¼ more for the taco shells
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
  • taco Tortillas

Instructions

  • Wash, pat dry, then cut the chicken into strips. Lightly season with ½ tsp. salt. Set aside.
    In a large skillet, heat the oil. Then add the chicken to cook. Immediately add the taco seasoning, Jacmel, Saint-Marc, and garlic. Mix well to combine.
    Next, add the sliced onion, tomato paste, and balsamic vinegar, water, juice from 1 lemon, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
    Cover and allow the chicken to cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes-10. Be sure to let the liquid evaporate.

  • Once done, remove the meat and the sauce from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
    In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add about 1 tsp. of olive oil, then add about 1-2 tablespoons of the sauce in the skillet, and "fry" the hard shells. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the skillet becomes dry. When the shells start to brown at the bottom, flip the shells over and brown / fry on the other side. Repeat as many times as necessary with the remaining shells.
    Top the tacos with Pikliz. May also include lettuce tomatoes, or spinach.
