Let us get into a little bit about adobe before we go to the Chicken Adobo Tacos. Adobe is a sauce that we prepare to marinate meats and it is said that its origins are Spanish and with the conquest and arrival of the Spanish in Mexico, this sauce also arrived. During this time, it was also used to preserve meats since there was no refrigeration.
Nowadays, we continue to prepare this marinade, but today we only do it for the delicious flavor it gives to our meats. This marinade has 2 types of chili peppers and there are several studies that tell us that consuming chili is healthy because they contain vitamin C, A and help stop inflammation. It looks like eating chile peppers has its benefits. So, today we will be preparing the chicken adobo that will leave us some delicious chicken adobo tacos.
Enjoy!
