Super Fast Chicken Tacos

Gary and I made this up. And you people like it. We like how fast it is. Maybe someday we will measure when we make it . . . but wouldn't that take away from the speed?

You will need:
canned chicken
onion (or onion powder)
garlic (or garlic powder)
cumin
italian dressing
salt and pepper
and maybe some chili powder, lemon juice, vinegar, and/or brown sugar

Start out by sauteing the onion and garlic in a pot. I think this is delicious, but if you have no fresh ingredients or time, skip it.
Add the canned chicken. The broth usually helps keep it moist.
Sprinkle liberally with cumin, italian dressing, salt, and pepper. If you have no italian dressing you can add vinegar or lemon juice. Or nothing. Or add it even if you have the dressing. This is all to taste.
Stir and heat. Taste until it tastes right. Chili powder and brown sugar are yummy, too. Add water if it seems too dry, it will soak into the chicken or evaporate out, so don't worry about it getting watery unless you really go for it on the water.

When it tastes yummy serve in tortillas (we like corn tortillas) with all the fixin's . . . sour cream, salsa, lettuce tomatoes, avacado if you have them, whatever else mexican-ish you want. Rice and beans . . .

Super-exact recipe, sorry. I would say don't be shy when adding the flavorings, it's not as tasty when you add too little. In no time flat you will be munching on tasty tacos!
