Ingredients

Small/Medium Chicken Breast
Olive Oil
Cumin
Chili Powder
Onion Powder
Garlic Salt
Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
Smoked Paprika
Ancho Chili Powder
Chipotle Chili Powder
Cilantro Leaves
Minced Garlic
Lime Juice

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)2019-07-10 13.17.32-1-3
  • 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

  • Heat 3 gluten free white corn tortillas; I use Mission if La Banderita is not available
  • Add chicken to tortillas, chopped red cabbage, avocado, Sargento Fine Cut Shredded Cheddar Cheese, tomatoes, & Marzetti Avocado Ranch Dressing
  • One of my favorite meals. Enjoy.
  • Addendum: You can substitute bean (black or pinto) for chicken. Mash them up while cooking.
