List of Ingredients



• 3 to 4 lbs. chicken (chicken breasts are easy to debone)
  
• 1/2 gallon plus 2 to 3 cups water
  
• 2 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp black pepper
  
• 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  
• 1 (10-ounce) pkg. flour tortillas, frozen or refrigerated
  






Instructions



1. Use the 1/2-gallon of water to boil the chicken for 1 hour (use a 5- to 7-quart cast iron Dutch oven).
   
   
2. After one hour, remove chicken from pot and set aside to cool. Add salt, pepper and soup to pot.
   
   
3. One at a time, cut tortillas into 3/4- x 1-1/2-inch slices and add to pot. After adding each tortilla, take a spoon and gently mash down into liquid. Do not stir. After adding last tortilla, simmer for 30 minutes, stirring gently once or twice. While you wait, debone the chicken.
   
   
4. After 30 minutes, add the deboned chicken. Simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Stir gently and occasionally. Add water as needed (I added 2 cups of water).
