Ingredients

1/2 deboned/skinned roasted, whole chicken
2-3 tablespoons chipotle en adobo
1 tablespoon toasted cumin, finely ground
1/2 cup toasted pepitas, ground to a meal
2-3 tablespoons chicked roasting juices
salt to taste

Directions

1

Chop/shred chicken into bite size pieces. I prefer the more organic look of torn/shredded meat.
2

Chop chipotles super fine and smash with the blade of your knife to produce a smooth paste
3

Combine chicken, chipotle, cumin, pepitas. Add roasting juices to acheive a moist but not loose filling. Salt to taste
4

Serve as an appetizer atop small steamed corn tortillas, and garnish as you please. I like chopped cilantro, cotija cheese, avocado and a squeeze of lime.
