Shredded Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 3 tablespoons salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 white onions, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 2 habanero peppers, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 18 corn tortillas
Instructions
1
Preheat your kitchen by preparing the chicken for slow-cooking. Sprinkle a blend of savory spices - comprising salt, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and a touch of heat from cayenne pepper - evenly over the chicken breasts. Position the seasoned chicken at the bottom of a slow cooker.
2
Next, add a medley of diced tomatoes, sautéed onions, sliced jalapenos, chopped habanero peppers, and minced garlic to the cooker. Squeeze a burst of citrus juice from a lime into the pot, stirring all the ingredients together.
3
Seal the cooker and initiate high-heat cooking. Wait for the chicken breasts to lose their pink centers, marking a completion time of 4 1/2 hours.
4
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the cooker and use two forks to shred the meat into tender, bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and mix it with the remaining ingredients.
5
Your slow-cooked masterpiece is now ready to be served alongside warm tortillas.
