Spicy Chicken Tacos

Spicy Chicken Tacos

2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/2 cup salsa verde
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1/2 tsp garlic sea salt
1/2 tsp cumin
Juice of 1 lime
6-8 hard taco shells
Suggested toppings: shredded chihuahua cheese or crumbled queso fresca, diced avocado, chopped lettuce

1. Place shredded chicken, salsa, jalapeno, garlic sea salt, cumin and lime in a saute pan. Cook over medium heat until hot (2-3 minutes).
2. Serve in taco shells with desired toppings.

Notes: You can cook the chicken any way. If I'm crunched for time, I just microwave it, flipping every 2 minutes until it's thoroughly cooked. If I have more time, I'll grill it. I've found the easiest way to shred chicken is using two forks to pull it apart. If you don't enjoy spicy foods, I'd skip this one! It will feed 2-3 people.

Recipe Origination: I made it up in attempts to use up cooked chicken and limes that were about to go bad. It ended up delicious!
