Directions
- When I first created this recipe, I eyeballed most ingredients. I’ll estimate here, but recommend you eyeball for your own tastes
- I use all McCormick spices because they’re gluten free
- I mostly use McCormick Cilantro leaves because I’m bad about keeping fresh cilantro on hand & fresh produce is expensive & I’m poor
- I use the bottled lime juice (ditto fresh produce)
- I use minced garlic because clove garlic is a pain in the ass—I said what I said
- Boil chicken in about 2 2/3 cup water
- Combine in a separate bowl, stir, & set aside: 1/4 cup of olive oil (do not use too much oil), 1-2 tbsp cumin, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/8 pepper, 1/8 crushed red pepper flakes, 1/8 smoked paprika, 1/8 ancho chili powder, 1/8 chipotle chili powder, 1/2 tsp cilantro leaves, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 3 squeezes of lime juice from the bottle
- Remove chicken from water and shred chicken
- Place shredded chicken in olive oil mix and stir
- Keep about 1/4 cup of the boiling chicken broth in the pot and stir in the olive oil & chicken mix
- Set the remaining chicken broth aside; I use it to clean out the mixture bowl dumping it in the boiling olive oil-chicken mix
- Boil the mixture down
