Method

  1. In your slow cooker, combine the chicken, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, chilli, lime juice and worcestershire sauce. Season generally with salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure all the chicken is coated. Cook and cover on low for 6 hours, or high for 3 – 4 hours, until chicken is cooked through. When chicken is done cooking, shred the chicken using 2 forks in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken around in juices.
  2. To make the salsa, add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. To make the sauce, add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix until combined. Season with pepper.
  4. Build tacos by adding shredded chicken and topping with salsa, yoghurt sauce and some smashed avocado. Enjoy with a squeeze of lime over the top.
