Mexican-Style Shredded Chicken
Use it for tacos, burritos, or whatever you'd like with this perfectly spiced, super tender shredded chicken.
If you go with tacos, keep it simple. Garnish with diced onion, chopped Cilantro, a squirt of lime and just a few crumbles of good authentic Mexican queso cheese on top of a warm soft corn tortilla. Let the chicken shine through, it's awesome.
I've got alot of pride in this recipe. It took a long, long time to get here but it's close to perfection.
It freezes really well and can be reheated from frozen without much effort, so scale up the recipe and freeze it in a bunch of freezer bags so you can have it at the ready whenever you need.
