Instructions
Slow Cooked Smoky Chicken
Lightly coat inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Add chicken (remove the skin if using breasts on the bone) and sprinkle with the cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped onion, chipotle chilies, and the adobo sauce on top. Pour 1 cup chicken broth over all and cook for 4 hours on high.
Remove chicken from the slow cooker and discard bones. Shred meat using two forks. Strain the broth and pour 1/2 to 1 cup over shredded chicken and mix. Return to the slow cooker to keep warm until ready to assemble tacos.
Pickled Red Onions
Add red onions to a shallow bowl. Combine the vinegar, agave nectar and salt and pour over onions, stirring to coat. Allow to sit at room temperature for up to an hour, stirring occasionally to make sure all the onions are moistened. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Fresh Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine all salsa ingredients and stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
To Assemble Tacos
Place 3-4 tablespoons shredded chicken on each tortilla. Top with desired amount of pickled red onions, fresh salsa, and cheese.
