4 cups shredded roast chicken
juice of 2 limes
extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh Mexican oregano

12 corn tortillas, warm

  2. In a large mixing bowl add lime juice, cumin, chile powder and chopped cilantro and oregano. Stir well and toss in shredded chicken and toss well to coat and marinate. Heat up on the grill for 2-3 minutes.
