Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Tacos
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.
