Quick, easy burrito/taco filling that is delicious and freezes great! I serve this with tortillas, shredded Cheddar cheese and little sour cream. You could fill the tortillas and put them all in a baking dish and then cover with salsa and cheese and bake for about 10 minutes, if you don't want a mess at the table.

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 , 4 ounce
  • 0.25 cups salsa
  • 1 , 1.25 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • hot sauce to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place chicken breasts and tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then add the salsa, seasoning, cumin, garlic and chili powder. Let simmer for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    With a fork, start pulling the chicken meat apart into thin strings. Keep cooking pulled chicken meat and sauce, covered, for another 5 to 10 minutes. Add hot sauce to taste and stir together (Note: You may need to add a bit of water if the mixture is cooked too high and gets too thick.)
