Directions

Chicken

Salt and pepper the chicken to taste. Add the chicken and the half cup Jaime’s Green Salsa to the slow cooker and cook until tender, about 2 hours on low setting, but all slow cookers vary. When the chicken is done, remove from the bone and pull apart with two forks. Return to pot, keep on warm setting, and cover.

Tortillas

Cut the tortillas into 1.5 inch by 1 inch strips. Heat 1/4 cup corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas till golden and sturdy, but not crispy like chips. Turn occasionally, but carefully, so tortillas do not fall apart. This should take about 14-17 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and add 2 cups salsa, turning carefully to coat tortillas. Cook for 3 more minutes to let the tortillas absorb the sauce.

On each plate, serve first tortillas, then add about 1/3 cup chicken, sprinkle on cheese and cilantro. Add more salsa if desired.
