Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken breasts in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Discard cooking water.

Step 2

Shred cooled chicken with your fingers or 2 forks.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, 2/3 of the salsa, corn, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro; bring to a simmer. Cook until heated through, about 15 minutes. Spoon into tortillas and top with remaining salsa.
