Shredded Chicken Tacos

YUM!


Shredded Chicken Tacos
found recipe here.


Ingredients
2-3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (mine were pretty small, so I used 3)
1 can tomato sauce
1/4 cup salsa (I used Pace chunky mild salsa, but I think some black bean/corn salsa would be amazing with this! I might try that next time)
1 packet of taco seasoning (I bought a taco kit that included the seasoning packet and taco shells)
1 tsp. cumin
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tsp. chili powder (I used a little less than this)
Taco shells or tortillas
Favorite taco toppings :)


Directions
1. In a medium sauce pan, bring chicken breasts and tomato sauce to a boil.
2. Add in remaining ingredients.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 min.
4. Pull chicken apart with two forks, until it is as "shredded" as you want.
5. Cover and continue to cook until chicken is fully cooked.
6. If sauce becomes too thick, add a little water.
7. Fill tacos or tortillas with chicken mixture and top with your fav's!

Original recipe says this serves four...maybe we eat way more than the average person...but it was perfect for the two of us.
