CHICKEN TACOS DORADOS, ACAPULCO-STYLE

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot, add the chicken breast and the water.
• Bring the water to a boil and then lower to medium heat. Stir in the chicken bouillon and salt.
• After about 5 minutes, start adding the vegetables. Cut the potatoes in half and add to the pot. Cut the tomatoes in fourths and add to the pot. Cut the peeled carrots in fourths and add to the pot.
• Now is a good time to check the broth. Taste it. If it's too salty, add more water. If it is too bland, add a little salt and bouillon, to your taste.
• Bring the pot with the chicken and vegetables to a low boil for about 15 minutes.
• In about 15 minutes, use a fork to check if chicken is cooked and tender.
• Let the chicken cook for 5 last minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the pot and place in a medium-sized bowl to cool down. Let the broth and vegetables continue simmering on the stovetop, on low.
• Warm up the tortillas in the microwave. You want them to be warm enough to be bendable and not break
• Grab two forks and shred the chicken. When the chicken is shredded, you can start assembling the tacos.
