Step 1
Heat stock pot (at least 5Q) on medium high heat with oil.
Step 4
Salt and pepper the chicken breasts, then cook, skin side down, for 10 minutes, or until skin starts to brown.
Step 6
Remove chicken and add onions and saute for five minutes, or until translucent.
Step 8
Add chicken back in, the tomato sauce, cilantro, chilies, garlic, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, ancho pepper powder, and stock. Stir until combined. Sprinkle the chicken bouillon over the top, stir again, add tomatoes and bay leaves if you have them.
Step 10
Simmer on low for one hour. Remove chicken to cool. Once cooled, remove skin and bones and pull chicken.
Step 12
Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the peppers, cilantro, etc. and add that, plus two cups of broth to a blender, and blend until smooth.
Step 14
Convince me that buying a Vitamix is a good idea.
Step 16
Pour that into the remaining consomme.
Step 18
To make the tacos:Warm tortillas. If you have a gas stove, consider yourself lucky. If not, microwave for 20-30 seconds so they are pliable.
Step 20
Dip the tortilla in the consomme (I only dipped half). Add chicken and cheese of choice, and fry for about 4-5 minutes a side. Right before serving, dip the tacos in the consomme - I really like crunchy tacos, so that's why I didn't dip the whole thing.
