Place your tomato paste into the spice and vegetable mix and bring together. Now add your chicken stock and bring to a boil. add your shredded chicken to this mix along with pureed smoked or roasted tomatoes. Continue to cook until everything comes together. Once finished, add your lime zest and lime juice. Taste for seasonings. When serving add chopped cilantro, sour cream and crushed tortillas to this and enjoy!
