- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 cups reserved chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 8 burrito-sized tortillas
Instructions
- Place chicken in large pot. Cover with water and add salt and pepper. Bring to boil.
- Drain chicken when no longer pink, reserving 2 cups of chicken broth from pot.
- Allow chicken to cool slightly and shred.
- Return shredded chicken to pot and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Stir.
- Slowly add chicken broth until chicken is moist and taco seasoning is incorporated (you do not want it to be soupy.)
- Heat non-stick skillet on medium-low heat.
- Place 1 tortilla shell in bottom of pan, cover entire tortilla with 1/4 cup of cheese. Spoon shredded chicken mixture on top.
