Mexican Pulled Chicken Tacos

This is my favorite recipe to pass around. I came up with this recipe while waiting in line at a Mexican "tienda" in Kensington market while living in Toronto. I was just making conversation with the woman behind me about how I wanted to make real Mexican tacos.
About five years ago my boyfriend and I had lived in Zihuatanejo Mexico for about six months. That's where my love for spice really emerged. The most unforgettable, out of all the delicious meals has to be the Tacos. And once I was back in Canada I had to re-create them!
So between the woman in line at the "tienda" and some of my own memory and experiences while in Zihuatanejo I came up with this recipe for Pulled Chicken Tacos:

Ingredients:

approx. 1 chicken breast per person
a piece of El Yucateco Annatto paste
juice of 1 orange
1-1 1/2 cups chicken stalk
4 tbsp (approx) olive oil

taco seasoning (mix ingredients):
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp cumin
about 1/2 tbsp chipotle powder
1/4 tsp chili powder (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Fixings:
corn tortillas
1/2 cup of red onions
1/4 cup cilantro
guacamole
lime slices
grilled pineapple pieces
salsa verde (green) or..
salsa rojo (red)


Boil chicken in a pot with enough water to cover. Boil for about 15-20 minutes, until chicken is able to pull apart easily. Remove and reserve the water. Pull the chicken apart with two forks until it's very stringy, no big pieces..

Heat pan to medium. Put a bit of oil into the pan and throw in the chicken. Add the Annatto paste and work it into the chicken with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the chicken, mix and let the flavors come out a bit. Cut a big orange and squeeze as much juice as you can out of both halves into the pan. Then take about a cup/ cup and a half of the leftover stock (boiled chicken water) and pour that into the pan. Give it a little shake bring it to a bubble then let simmer on med- low heat until all the juices are soaked in.

While the chicken is simmering, prep the tortillas, and guacamole and salsa.
chop the red onion into small pieces and finely chop the cilantro. Mix the two together and drizzle in some olive oil, salt and pepper. Chop some pineapple and grill it (optional, but delicious!).

Set it all up and dig in while it's hot!
