Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 4 goose or chicken leq quarters
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 packets Sazon Goya seasoning
- 12 8-inch flour tortillas
- ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup salsa verde
- ¼ cup queso fresco, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Season the leg quarters all over with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the leg quarters and onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, turning often.
- Transfer the leq quarters and onions to a slow cooker, then add chicken broth and Sazon Goya seasoning and stir everything together. Place lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 5 to 6 hours until meat is very tender and falling off the bones.
- Remove the leg quarters from the slow cooker and transfer to a large platter or cutting board. Let the meat cool for about 10 minutes until safe to handle, then shred the meat using 2 forks. Be careful to remove and discard all the bones.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook tortillas for about 20-30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate.
- Spoon about 2 Tablespoons of the cooked and shredded meat mixture and 1 Tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese into a line at one end of each tortilla and tightly roll it up. Use a toothpick to secure it. Then spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray or brush them lightly with oil.
- Bake the rolled tacos on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes or until the shells are crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and salsa verde and set aside.
- Top rolled tacos with sour cream mixture, queso fresco cheese, and cilantro. Serve immediately with guacamole and pico de gallo if so desired.
