Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts or 1 lb chicken tenders
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa (mild or hot)
5 canned jalapeno slices (chopped)
1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons cumin

5 -6 flour tortillas

Directions

1

Add tomatoes, broth, salsa, jalapenos, cumin, garlic, and salt to a medium size sauce pan and bring to a boil.
2

Chop chicken into small bite size pieces and add to boiling sauce. Turn heat immediately down to low- medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through. You can simmer for longer if you want more flavor infused into the meat.
3

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter (or spray cooking spray) into a pan on medium low heat. Place cheese slice into center of flour tortilla. With a slotted spoon pick up chicken pieces and allow the juice to drain out. Place in center of tortilla and fold close. Cook tortillas about a minute on each side until golden brown and serve. Goes well with a guacamole salad.
