How to make Pulled Chicken tacos

Warm oil in deep skillet over medium high heat.
Add onions, sweet peppers and garlic. Saute for about 5 min until onions are lightly browned and softened.
Add chicken and brown again for 5 min. Add tomatoes, chipotle pepper, water, salt and spices.
Stir to mix, cover skillet and cook on low heat for 1 hour until chicken is very tender. Uncover skillet and cook for a further 10 minutes until chicken is falling apart.
Remove chicken to bowl and continue cooking sauce until it is very thick, another 10 min.
Shred chicken with two forks and add back to sauce in skillet. Fold in chopped coriander and lemon juice. Transfer to serving bowl.
Warm tortillas and place on table along with chicken and assorted toppings for people to assemble their own tacos.
