Boil chicken with can of chicken broth and water, with a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste, for approx. 15 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink inside).
Remove chicken from pot (discard liquid), and finely shred, and set aside.
Dice all vegetables (tomato, onion, peppers) and add to large pan.
Add spices to vegetable mixture, followed by the shredded chicken. Finally, add water, jalapeno juice, and tobasco sauce. Mix thoroughly.
Bring mixture to a full boil, cover with lid, then reduce temperature and simmer for approximately 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove lid, stir, and continue simmering on low to medium heat until approximately 80% of liquid is absorbed.
Preheat oven to 400ยบ.

Take pre-heated flour tortillas and gently stretch them over the bowls, forming your taco salad shell. Lightly spray once more before placing in oven.
