Instructions
Bring the olive oil to temperature in a non-stick frying pan.
Put the chicken in the pan and fry until they turn golden. Set aside.
In the same pan, add another small splash of olive oil and fry your onion until it softens.
Add your tomatoes, cumin, and pickled chili peppers and cook on low for 15 - 25 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Add the chicken back into the sauce and allow to cook for about 5 minutes.
Put all the taco fixings in separate bowls so that everyone can make up their own and serve with warm tortillas.
NOTE: I like to give the chicken a good spritz of lime juice. This freshens things up and amplifies the flavors.
