Part 2/6:
Fresh lime juice: One tablespoon, freshly squeezed for brightness.
10 to 12 small corn tortillas: Depending on their size, you'll need a good quantity.
Mexican shredded cheese: Use about one to two cups, divided.
Preparing the Chicken Filling
Start by shredding your chicken into a large mixing bowl. This can be done by hand or with two forks. If you’re making a larger batch, a stand mixer with a paddle attachment makes it effortless.
Once you have your shredded chicken, add the drained Ro-Tel tomatoes, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Stir well to ensure that the flavors meld together beautifully.
