Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts into a saucepan and pour in enough water to cover. Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer until chicken meat is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.

  2. Transfer chicken breasts to a bowl, allow to cool, and shred the chicken meat with 2 forks.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a small non-stick saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir onion until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Mix in the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, and tomato sauce, bring to a boil.

  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is hot and the flavors have blended, about 3 minutes.

Recipe Note

I put this together one day, wanting tacos, but I did not want ground beef. It is fast to make, as no slow cooker is needed. Serve warmed as a substitute for ground beef in tacos, and serve in a taco shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.
