Cuisine: Filipino
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by dicing the chicken breast into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size.
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken with soy sauce and vinegar. Marinate for 15 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderize the meat.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare the guacamole by mashing the ripe avocado in a separate bowl. Add diced jalapeño and mix thoroughly.
- Once chicken is cooked, add chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in mayonnaise to the chicken mixture, creating a creamy and rich texture. Remove from heat and let rest.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble tacos by placing a portion of the chicken sisig mixture onto each tortilla, topping with prepared guacamole.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Don’t rush the marination process! Allow the chicken to soak in the soy sauce and vinegar for at least 15 minutes to really enhance its flavor and tenderness.
- Perfectly Cooked Chicken: Keep an eye on the chicken while it cooks; you want it golden brown and fully cooked without drying it out. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Customize Your Guacamole: Feel free to add more ingredients to your guacamole, such as lime juice, garlic, or tomatoes, to give it a personal twist that suits your taste.
- Warm Tortillas: For the best texture, warm your corn tortillas just before assembling the tacos. This makes them pliable and enhances their flavor.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of fresh cilantro not only adds a pop of color but also brings a fresh flavor that complements the rich chicken and creamy guacamole beautifully.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh! Assemble and serve them right away to keep the tortillas warm and the flavors vibrant.
