Ingredients
2–2.5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast, patted dry
1 large onion, diced
1 (14.5 oz.) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
2 Tbsp. The Spice Guy Tinga Tomorrow blend
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Street taco tortillas (we used corn)
Optional Toppings — cilantro, cotija cheese, avocado, sour cream, etc.
Directions
Heat skillet to medium-high heat with 2 Tbsp. olive oil.
While pan is heating, cover chicken breasts on both sides in 1 Tbsp. of Tinga Tomorrow blend.
Add chicken to skillet and sear 1-2 minutes on both sides to lock in flavor for slow cooker.
Add diced onion to bottom of the slow cooker, top with seared chicken.
Add tomatoes and remaining 1 Tbsp. of Tinga Tomorrow. (Add more if you prefer more spice)
Slow cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3.5.
When finished, open lid, shred chicken with two forks and mix with liquid. Re-cover and cook on high for at least 30 more minutes.
Drain excess liquid if needed. Serve on tortillas with optional toppings.
