1
Boil breasts in large pot of water for about 30 minutes, or until done.
2
Rinse in cold water to avoid burning your fingers, then shred your chicken.
3
I use a fork to make it easier.
4
Return shredded chicken to the empty pot and add your Tinga seasoning, tomato sauce, and 2/3 cup of water.
5
Heat to a boil, then keep on low heat.
6
Warm your tortillas.
7
I find it easiest to lay them out on a plate, cover with a slightly damp paper towel, and microwave for 20 seconds.
8
Heating them and keeping them moist will prevent them from cracking while you eat.
9
Finally, top with chicken, cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime, onions, tomatoes, avocado, and salsa if you like!
