Ingredients

1 4-lb chicken

1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded

1 onion, chopped

1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced

3 avocados, flesh cut into cubes

Juice of 2-3 limes

Canola oil

Chili powder

Cumin

Cayenne pepper (optional)

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt and pepper

Directions

Cook the chicken thoroughly, either by boiling or using a pressure cooker (10-15 minutes). Set aside and allow to cool. Meanwhile, combine vegetables and lime juice thoroughly and refrigerate for half an hour.

Discard chicken bones, skin, and visible fat. Shred meat with fingers to form thin fibers. Toss with seasoning to desired taste. Heat a thin film of canola oil in a large non-stick pan until very hot. Heat the chicken in the pan, stirring occasionally, until some fibers begin to crisp and brown. Serve, with lettuce mixture, in tortillas (not included in nutritional estimate). Makes filling for 10 chicken tacos.
