It’s so easy!
When we say this is in easy meal, it’s really true! With just four main ingredients and some simple seasonings, you can get this meal cooking in just about 5 minutes. The hardest part will be figuring out how you want to serve it. We like it in tacos (with either lettuce shells or Siete tortillas), in a quesadilla, with some fried plantains, or as a chicken burrito bowl with a bunch of toppings!
Smoky and Saucy
You would think that such an easy recipe would be lacking in flavor, but that’s definitely not the case with this shredded chicken recipe. To make it extra smoky we added some liquid smoke and chipotle powder. These really kick up the smoky flavor and pair perfectly with the tomato based sauce. You’ll get just a hint of cinnamon too, which is a fun addition to these yummy flavors.
