0.5 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce (mild)

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
8 medium potatoes, cubed (optional)
cilantro
yogurt or sour cream

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients (except those for serving) and place in a crock pot.
2. Cook on high for one hour and then switch to low for an additional 4-6 hours. (This could easily be cooked on the stove as well).
3. At this point I like to break the meat up with a large spoon so that it is more or less shredded .
4. Serve with cilantro, yogurt or sour cream and tortillas (and a spoon!).
