Ingredients

1 lbs chicken
8 oz diced tomatoes with green chilis
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
6 oz water
12 Tortillas corn or flour
Optional Toppings: shredded cheese sour cream, salsa

Instructions

Add ingredients to a pot, stir to mix spices and tomatoes.
Cover pot and cook on low on the stovetop for 2-2 1/2 hours, until chicken is cooked through.
When chicken is cooked to 170 degrees internally, remove from pan with tomatoes and liquid, and place into a large bowl of a stand mixer.
Add the paddle attachment and turn on medium low and spin until chicken is shredded, about 2 minutes- it helps if the chicken is still extremely hot, it makes it shred more easily.
When shredded, remove from mixer and add to tacos, enchiladas, burritos, salads, or in sandwiches!
