SHREDDED MEXICAN CHICKEN
This shredded Mexican chicken can be used for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and tostadas. It's super simple and is probably the closest to authentic Mexican shredded chicken that I have experienced over the years.

Steps:
- Fill a 6- to 8-quart pot halfway with water.

- Remove the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Shred chicken in the pot with 2 forks so it can absorb some of the moisture. Simmer until stock has reduced, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and cook until sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.
