Instructions

1
Combine chicken, salsa, chicken stock, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 22 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F and is very tender.
3
Shred the chicken right in the pot with two forks and simmer uncovered 5 minutes so it soaks up the sauce.
4
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.
5
Fill tortillas with the shredded chicken, top with cheddar and chopped cilantro, and finish with a squeeze of lime.
