Chicken Tacos!

I don't know what compelled me to blog about the chicken tacos we had last night for dinner but it might have something to do with how delicious they were.
We had decided we were going to a hike so early in the morning I cleaned up a whole chicken and smeared it down with salt and pepper, inside and out, stuffed the cavity with whole garlic, lemon and chopped onion. Then I lathered the outside of the bird with a gob of my homemade red chili mole sauce. I put the the chicken in a crock on a bed of onion and celery then added a little bit of chicken broth (also homemade) then let it cook all day while we went for our hike.
Well, you all know how good the house smells when you've had something in the crock all day, well this wasn't any different. I could smell chili, lemon, garlic and chicken. I couldn't resist sharing one of the legs and thighs with my husband Todd then I put the rest of the chicken on a platter, let it cool then refrigerated it. At this point I didn't have any definite plans for the chicken but I had a multitude of possibilities.
A couple of hours later the idea came to me to make chicken tacos and of course I had to put some black beans in the the pressure cooker to accompany the tacos. When it came time for dinner and the black beans were ready to consume, I started our taco experience by sauteeing up some green onion, orange and red sweet peppers and garlic. Then I added one of the chicken breasts that I had shredded up and let it sautee a couple more minutes. Then came a good portion of my red chili mole sauce and a little chicken broth. I let this all blend and saute while Todd fried up, yes fried, some corn tortillas. He made the best crunchy taco shells, just the way I like them.
Grab a crispy taco shell, add chicken mixture, put sharp cheddar next, lettuce and sour cream and watch out taste buds. Pow!
