8 Reviews of Maria's Taco Xpress Pollo Guisado

From: Denise!

On Aug 6, 2009

Outstanding recipe. I decided to season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika and saute in just a bit of olive oil for a bit more flavor. I did more of a chop than shred and sauteed the onion in the pan drippings. Served with lots of Vidalia onion, finely shredded lettuce, cilantro and lime. Absolutely delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe.

    WOW, couldn't be easier and stunningly flavorful for a simple recipe. to make it even less work i used a rotisserie chicken from the store. added some guac and sour cream too and loved the flavor of the chicken sauce. turned it into a soft taco with a little guac and sour cream added to the other toppings

    I love Taco Xpress and this recipe is as good good as a trip to Austin! My only change was to use i cup of the broth from cooking the thighs in place of the water. Thanks for posting.

    I loved the flavor of this dish, but even slathered with sour cream, I couldn't eat a whole portion because it was so spicy-hot. I don't know if I am a wimp or the chipotles were extraordinarily hot but it was a fiery dish. (even after I added some tomato sauce and a pinch of sugar!) I look forward to making this again and scaling way (way!) back on the chipotle.

    Lordy I can't believe I forgot to review this!!! So, we will eat this weekly, especially when work gets hectic. I modified this, sort of, for 2, and made it into a 30 minute meal. I don't know if this review is fair, but I think it is!! I used 2 large chicken breasts, and microwaved them. I made the sauce as directed, with less water. I combined the microsteamed chicken which I had shredded with the sauce and we made burrito type creations with it. LOVE. Thank you thank you.

    Excellent! Simple ingredients! Lots and lots of flavor!!! Only change I made was instead of using the chipotle chile in adobo, I used a med. smooth taco sauce. So Good!!! Gotta love Guy and his triple D's.

    I absolutely loved this recipe...including my 19 yr old son and his dad. Lots of flavor and went with the suggestion of stonecoldcrazy as to slather with sour cream...absolutely awesome. My son rated it "Off the Chain" guess he loved it too. Thanks for the recipe and will use again and again.
