Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a medium-sized pot, combine the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Chicken

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks.

  4. 4

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous amount of the shredded chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the chicken with diced onions and chopped cilantro for added flavor.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tortillas warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
