Mango-Lime Shredded Chicken Tacos image

I put a little spin on a family favorite. While this chicken filling is simmering I fry my corn tortillas until they are nice and crispy! If you like sweet and spicy together, this is a great dinner idea! Fill shells with chicken, lettuce, tomato, fresh cilantro, and your choice of hot sauce. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 large white onion, chopped
1 large Anaheim pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup chicken stock
1 (8 ounce) can peeled whole plum tomatoes

1 tablespoon Pasilla chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:
