Sarah's Easy Shredded Chicken Taco Filling image

I put this together one day, wanting tacos, but I did not want ground beef. It is fast to make, as no slow cooker is needed. Serve warmed as a substitute for ground beef in tacos, and serve in a taco shell, with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, or other favorite toppings.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a big batch of chicken breast on the weekend and used it to make these tacos for dinner tonight. They were a hit with my family!
