Steps

1

Boil the chicken in salted water until it pulls apart with a fork. I use a frozen whole chicken or frozen chicken breasts and boil them in water the covers them for 1.5 hours. OR now that I have an instapot I cook them under pressure for 1 hour, this uses much less water. (make sure to cook those bones down for soup later)
2

Take chicken out of the water and allow to cool until you can handle it. Then using two forks, or your hands, shred the chicken.
3

Heat oil in a large frying pan and add all of the incredients and cook until well combined. Adjust seasonings to taste.
4

To prepare the corn torialls, wrap in a wet papertowel and microwave for 1:30 or unil they are all soft and a little curley.
5

Serve with cabbage salsa. Make sure to mash the garlic, it really helps spread out the flavour.
6

Other variations include fish tacos, beef tacos, and refried bean tacos.
