Chicken tacos

We usually have beef tacos and use a base seasoning of from the spice house taco seasoning and add garlic and made some chopped onion. Oh, and usually some Mexican chili powder. However yesterday morning I was searching the kitchen for something simple to make with some frozen chicken breasts I had left in the fridge. One thing led to another, mainly me spying taco shells in the cabinet, and chicken tacos was on the menu.
I used a recipe from some site called "mexican recipes". I have this information on chicken taco meat for a while. The cooking process involves boiling the chicken, then slicing it and sauteing with onions, bell peppers and garlic. Then some of the reserved chicken broth is added along with diced or pureed tomatoes, cumin and chili powder. Let that simmer for a while and you have some terrifically moist and flavorful chicken that can be used in tacos, flautas, enchillads, etc.
I made some jasmine rice and black beans to go along with it.
