    | 1. In a pot, bring oregano, bay leaves, chicken broth, peppers, onion, and garlic to boil. | 2. Add chicken, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 1/2 hour until chicken is cooked. Be sure to submerge the chicken in soup base as completely as possible or occasionally turn the chicken in pot. | 3. Remove chicken and place into a large bowl until it is cool enough to handle. | 4. Meanwhile, combine chili powder, salsa, cumin, and hot sauce in a small bowl. | 5. Shred chicken with two forks or with gloved hands (I find the latter easier to do). | 6. Add the sauce mixture to the chicken and mix thoroughly (again, using a gloved hand works best). Add 1-2 tablespoons of the soup base for flavor and to keep chicken moist. | 7. Heat a fry pan or skillet with olive oil. | 8. Heat a tortilla on one side for about a minute and flip over. | 9. Place shredded chicken on half of the tortilla, evenly spreading it out. | 10. Sprinkle cheese over it, evenly spreading it out, as little or as much as you want! | 11. Fold tortilla over and press down. Heat on one side for about 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Then, flip on other side and repeat. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
