    1 kg chicken thighs, 1 red onion, 1 cup jarred salsa, 3 cloves garlic, 1 red capsicum, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 0.5 cup chicken stock
  • Make the avocado dipping sauce: Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

  • Preheat your oven to the lowest setting. Place a baking tray inside topped with a wire rack.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle a small amount of grated mozzarella in the pan (about the size of a tortilla). Dip a tortilla into the broth in the slow cooker and place in the pan over the cheese. Sprinkle more cheese over half the tortilla then top with the pulled chicken. 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.

  • Serve the tacos with the avocado dipping sauce and some coriander.
