- 6 Ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
- 1 C. Orange Juice
- 4 Cloves garlic
- 2 TB. Rice vinegar
- 2 tsp. Coriander
- 1 tsp. Oregano
- 2 tsp. Cumin
- 1 TB. Chicken Bouillon
- 2 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thigh, trimmed or chicken tenders
- In a medium dutch oven over medium heat, toast the chilies, pressing down with a spatula and turning, until fragrant, about 2 min.
- In a 2 C. measuring cup, pour 1 C. orange juice and then squish the toasted chilies into the cup to soften, about 5 minutes.
- In a small blender, combine the chilies and juice with the garlic, vinegar, coriander, oregano, cumin and bouillon.
- Return the mixture to the dutch oven and add the chicken, tossing to coat in the chile puree.
- Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring a bit, then cover and turn to low. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until chicken is soft and easily shreddable. Use 2 forks to shred chicken in pot and taste for seasoning, adding salt if needed and a bit more vinegar if needed.
- Serve in tortillas or on top of rice, garnishing with avocados and red onions.
