Ingredients
-
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
-
Water to cover
-
1 onion - peeled
-
4 cloves Melissa's peeled garlic - halved
-
4 Melissa's Dried Chipotle Peppers
-
To taste salt and pepper

1/2 head Iceberg Lettuce - shredded
-
4 New Mexico Hatch Peppers - roasted
-
4 ounces sour cream

Directions
Place the chicken in a pot and cover with water. Add the onion, garlic and chipotle peppers and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an hour.
Remove from the heat and, when cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into pieces.
Place the tortillas on a flat surface and place equal amounts of all of the ingredients in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up and enjoy.
Recipe Note
If you want to kick up the spice a bit, add some spicier dried peppers to the water when cooking the chicken.
