Shredded Chicken
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 large organic chicken breasts trimmed
- 1 jar salsa verde (or any salsa works!)

Tacos
- tortillas (I use Siete tortillas)

Instructions
Shredded Chicken
-
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil in pot, then add both the chicken breasts to sear both sides on medium heat, 2-3 minutes. Pour in jar of salsa verde over the chicken, cover and let boil for 12-15 minutes. Remove chicken once tender and shred on a cutting board with 2 forks or in a bowl using a hand mixer.
-
Add chicken back to pot, along with cilantro, ground pepper and red chili flakes. Toss with tongs until fully combined.
Tacos
-
Heat oil in skillet until hot but not smoking. Add sweet potato and cook about 5-10 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Build your tacos! Heat tortillas over an open flame (keep flipping until starting to bubble/brown), or in a skillet on medium heat. Layer tortilla with mixed greens, shredded chicken verde, bell pepper, sweet potato, avocado, roasted pumpkin seeds and cilantro. Enjoy! 🙂
