Shredded Chicken and Black Bean Tacos image

This is a really simple quick Goya recipe that I completely made my own. You can double the shredded chicken and omit the black beans, or do the opposite and make it vegetarian (with a veggie broth substitution). It's a great thing to make if you are having enchilada cravings but don't have all the ingredients :-P
