Mexican Shredded Chicken

Ingredients:

Chicken
Red pepper flakes
Chili powder
Cumin
Salsa
Pico

Could add:  corn, black beans, tomatoes

serve with:  cheese, basmati rice w/ cilantro & lime, tortillas, chips, tostada, taco shells, shredded lettuce, spinach etc.


Directions:

put salsa, spices, and chicken in crock pot 6-7 hours (could add corn and beans at some point if desired).  Do what you want with it now, but my favorite option:


Take a medium to small sized tortilla (just easier to flip) and put down a layer of cheese, add the hot chicken, add a layer of pico de gallo, and add a little more cheese.  Olive or coconut oil a pan and just cook it a few min on each side to crisp it and melt the cheese.  Cut with pizza cutter and you have the greatest quesadilla ever.  I'm going to add cut up spinach next time to make it healthier.
