Slow-Cooker Chili Chicken Tacos

Hearty meats such as chicken thighs become fall-apart sumptuous after a long, gentle simmer in the slow cooker — the results are ideal for shredding into tacos or sandwich fillings.

ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 6)

• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• 1/2 cup prepared tomato salsa, plus more for serving (optional)

• 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo

• 1 tablespoon chili powder

• Coarse salt and ground pepper

• 8 hard corn taco shells

• Cilantro, shredded cheese, lime wedges, and sour cream, for serving (optional)

directions

1. In slow cooker, combine chicken, garlic, salsa, chiles, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Cover; cook on high, 4 hours (or on low, 8 hours).

2. Transfer chicken to a serving bowl, and shred, using two forks; moisten with cooking juices. Serve in taco shells, with toppings, if desired.
