One of my favorite Things to Do in Oaxaca City was taking a cooking class at Dos Corazones, where Chef Aubrey shared her grandmother’s treasured recipe for Oaxacan Chicken Picadillo. It’s a savory, slightly sweet mix of shredded chicken, tomatoes, raisins, and spices that we used to stuff inside chile rellenos. But, it’s also used to fill tacos dorados, quesadillas, or as a main dish. I could’ve definitely eaten it straight from the pan and been happy!
