  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced

Preparation

  • Put pheasant or chicken in a pan with cold water (enough to cover your meat) and put lid on top. Simmer on low heat (don't boil) until cooked, 7-10 minutes. Let it cool, drain, shred the meat and set aside. 


  • Heat some oil in a skillet. Saute onion until soft. Add garlic, cumin, sugar, coriander, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomatoes, and salsa. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. 


  • Stir in the shredded meat, green onions, cilantro and cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside. 


  • Preheat oven to 400. Divide filling among tortillas. Spread on half and fold over. Place on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until the cheese melts (around 5 minutes). Garnish with favorite toppings.
