Cafe Rio Lisa's Style

This is my sister's recipe.

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
olive oil

1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
1 can Pato tomato sauce (in a yellow can)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large garlic clove, minced

corn tortillas
cilantro, chopped
Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (recipe below)


Instructions:
1. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil & grill on BBQ (or on the stove) - don't overcook.
2. Let chicken sit for 5 minutes; cut into very small pieces.
3. Add chicken to a skillet. Add tomato sauce, Pato sauce, garlic and brown sugar.
4. Stir to mix and cover to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
5. Wrap a stack of corn tortillas in paper towel. Heat in microwave until hot. I also like to use the tortillas mentioned in the "Perfect Tortillas" post.
6. Serve chicken on tortilla and garnish with chopped cilantro & tomatillo dressing.
