Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 16 oz chunky salsa
- 1/2 lime’s juice
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 tortillas (Mission Carb Balance)
- 2 avocados (mashed)
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- 1 lime (sliced)
- Fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker except for tortillas and toppings. Mix everything, making sure the spices and salsa mixture all cover the chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or for 6 hours on a low function.
- Once the chicken is tender, shred it using two forks. Give the whole mixture a good stir and cook for an additional 1 hour. This time, keep the lid slightly ajar to let the moisture evaporate.
- Slightly toast your tortillas on a stovetop. Do about 20-30 seconds per side until they brown up a little bit and warm. You can use a slight amount of oil.
- Top each tortilla with chicken. Add avocado mash, sour cream, lime slices, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
