Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 kg chicken thighs
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 cup jarred salsa
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 red capsicum sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika sweet
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • tortillas mini corn
  • mozzarella cheese grated

Avocado dipping sauce:

  • 2 avocados
  • 1 jalapeno
  • coriander small bunch
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 cup greek yoghurt
  • sea salt

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Place all the pulled chicken ingredients into the slow cooker. Cook on the high setting for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken and shred, then return to the slow cooker. Freeze the mix with all the juices.
  • Make the avocado dipping sauce: Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth, scraping sides down as needed.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese in the pan about the size of a tortilla. Dip a tortilla into the broth (slow cooker) and place into the pan over the cheese. Sprinkle more cheese over half the tortilla then top with the pulled chicken. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese under the tortilla browns and the cheese inside is melty, then fold the tortilla in half over the filling.
  • Keeping the tacos warm and crispy: Heat your oven to the lowest setting. Place a baking tray inside topped with a wire rack. Lay the tacos on the rack in a single layer.
  • Serve with avocado sauce.
