Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Put chicken, 1/2 of the onion, and 6 garlic cloves in a pot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 2
Remove chicken from the pot. Discard garlic and cooking water. Shred chicken when cool enough to handle.
Step 3
Combine ketchup, beer, vinegar, jalapeno pepper, brown sugar, ground chili pepper, mustard, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl for sauce.
Step 4
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion and minced garlic; cook until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the chicken and stir until well mixed and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Serve chicken mixture in tortillas.
