Tell me what you think of this recipe?

Question

I found this on the internet and was going to make it tonight, but I thought maybe when I mixed in the seasoning and water it would be runny and this says it will get thick. DO you guys think it will get thick?

FYI i tried it last night and it worked

Answer 1

yes, it will thicken because the taco seasoning has corn starch in it

Answer 2

If there's any thickening agents in the taco seasoning, then it could get a little thick. I would cook the chicken in the liquid until the chicken was done and bring the liquid to a boil and let it boil until the peppers were a little wilted. If you don't like your peppers wilted, then take them out sooner. Keep boiling the liquid until there's a little left. Then pour that over the chicken and the peppers.

Answer 3

It probably will because taco meat gets thick when you add a pkg of taco seasoning. This actually sounds very good, i think i'll write it down and make some. Thanks. Here is an easy dessert, key lime pie. Mix 1 can eagle brand milk and 2/3 can frozen limade (or to taste) then stir in one tub cool whip and put it in a graham cracker crust,. put it in the freezer and it will be ready for after dinner. It is easy and great

Answer 4

Modify the recipe a bit...use some of the seasoning to season chicken strips...sear on all sides in skillet w/ a bit of oil.

Mix chicken broth and all ingredients in another pot and bring to boil. Once at boil pour in pan with chicken. let simer over medium heat uncovered...keep flipping chicken so it's all cooked...will probably take 10-15 min...sauce will reduce

Answer 5

Any liquid will cook down if given enough time.

I marinate my meat in olive oil, lemon juice, lotsa garlic, fajita seasoning (I guess taco seasoning would do) and cilantro or parsley for at least an hour. I throw this on the griddle with fresh sliced peppers and onions. This doesn't produce a gravy.

Answer 6

Read the label on the taco seasoning. It contains starch, usually corn starch. This will thicken up and create a sauce. I suggest you dissolve the taco seasoning in cold water, and heat it up, starch dissolves in cold water and lumps in hot water.

Answer 7

i think with all the simmering, most of water will turn to steam and not make this too runny. You can always add less water in and add extra if it is too thick at any point.

Answer 8

Yes it will get thick, because the water (or chicken broth) will evaporate (called a reduction).

Answer 9

My admired Meatloaf to one million lb clean floor sirloin upload 6 minced habanero peppers, one million/2 tsp. salt, one million chopped onion, one million/2 C. tomato sauce, one million/2 c. dry bread crumbs, and one million egg. blend jointly all components in medium-sized bowl. Press mixture into loaf pan and bake approximately 40 5-50 minutes at 350 ranges. for the duration of ultimate 10 or so minutes of baking suited with the remainder of tomato sauce used until now. would nicely be arranged forward (use glass loaf pan) and refrigerated. Bake one extra 10-15minutes because of fact the blend would be less warm once you initiate.

Answer 10

no, it probably will become thick because (a) the seasoning is likely to contain a thickening agent, and (b) water will evaporate as you cook it.
