  • Remove lid and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to your desired consistency. Stir often.
  • Turn off the heat and use two forks to shred the chicken.

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Tastes best when served immediately. Leftover tacos cannot be stored for later because the shells will become soggy. However, you can store this cooked Mexican shredded chicken and all the toppings separately in a sealed container in the fridge and assemble tacos together when you are ready to enjoy them.
