Dinner 60 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped, divided
  • 6 whole garlic cloves
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup beer
  • ⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle chili pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter, or more to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or as needed

Instructions

  • Put chicken, 1/2 of the onion, and 6 garlic cloves in a pot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot. Discard garlic and cooking water. Shred chicken when cool enough to handle.
  • Combine ketchup, beer, vinegar, jalapeno pepper, brown sugar, ground chili pepper, mustard, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl for sauce.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion and minced garlic; cook until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the chicken and stir until well mixed and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve chicken mixture in tortillas.
