Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the onion and peppers into small pieces.

  2. 2

    We ordered a shredded chicken at the butcher shop and if it were boneless better (I did it with bone).

  3. 3

    In a pot with a drizzle of olive oil, brown the chicken well and add salt. Not much salt, because the ingredients are strong and will be very concentrated later on.

  4. 4

    Add the onion, red and green peppers. Cook everything for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are poaching.

  5. 5

    Add the ham to tacos and the olives cut in half or whole, as you like. We cook for a minute, because otherwise the ham will dry out a lot.

  6. 6

    Pour in a liter of chicken broth, preferably hot. *If you don't have homemade chicken broth, you can add a liter of water and half a tablet of chicken avecrem. We cook everything 30 minutes over medium heat.
