Ingredients
Chicken Breasts, boneless skinlessCan of Stewed TomatoesChipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce (I use 3 and it's spicy)OnionsCumin
Directions
Put as many chipotle peppers as you'd like (depending on how spicy you like it) in a blender with 1 can of stewed tomatoes and add a sprinkle of cumin and salt. Blend until a puree with just a little bit of chunkiness for texture. In the meantime, put your chicken (frozen is fine) in the bottom of a crock pot, top it with one medium onion, halved and cut into thinly sliced half moons. Top with the stewed tomato puree. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until chicken shreds easily with a fork. Great to put on crispy baked tostada shells with lettuce, tomato and some light shredded cheese. Also good for taco salads or with rice and beans for a tasty mexican meal.
