Quick, easy burrito/taco filling that is delicious and freezes great! I serve this with tortillas, shredded Cheddar cheese and little sour cream. You could fill the tortillas and put them all in a baking dish and then cover with salsa and cheese and bake for about 10 minutes, if you don't want a mess at the table.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place chicken breasts and tomato sauce in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.

Bring to a boil, then add the salsa, seasoning, cumin, garlic and chili powder.

Let simmer for 15 minutes.

With a fork, start pulling the chicken meat apart into thin strings.

Keep cooking pulled chicken meat and sauce, covered, for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Add hot sauce to taste and stir together (Note: You may need to add a bit of water if the mixture is cooked too high and gets too thick.)
