Directions
For the Tacos
In a saucepan, add the chicken, onion, garlic, salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
Remove chicken from the pan and, when cool enough to handle, shred it and set aside.
For the Salsa
To make the salsa, place the tomatoes, onion, chiles, lime juice and salt in a bowl and mix well.
To assemble the Tacos
To assemble the tacos, take a cabbage leaf and add a layer of shredded chicken, some of the salsa, some cilantro and some cheese and roll, overlapping the sides.
Secure with a toothpick and repeat for the remaining tacos.
Serve with lime wedges and salsa, if desired.
